Book two in the Frank Trinity, P.I. series. Lots of moving parts that Mr. Holliday juggles well and at a brisk pace.

I love the Trinity novels. Style-wise, Elmore Leonard feels like the obvious comparison, with shades of George V Higgins as well. I've heard K.C. Constantine mentioned as a reference too, but I haven't got around to his Balzic series to confirm (though if it is genuinely similar to Trinity, then Trevor Holliday's work just bumped Constantine's up my TBR pile).
As great as these comparisons are however, they do Holliday a disservice. The fact is his Trinity novels are their own thing. Loose tapestries of Arizonan lives and misadventures that weave together in surprising and satisfying ways. I've read 2 so far (No.5 and now No.2. I don't think I'm missing much by reading them out of sequence) and one thing I particularly like is that Trinity himself isn't center stage. In the two I've read, he barely comes into it until around 3/4s of the way through, and when he does it's less to crack the case than to clean up the mess. Instead it's the changing cast of supporting characters who carry the stories, and it works brilliantly.
These books are just a lot of fun. I've just ordered 2 more in the series. I'd urge you to try at least one too. I'd love to see this series get the big audience it deserves.

3.75 stars because there’s not enough Trinity in this and the plot is pretty inconsequential: a missing ring and a western painting done by a famous artist. Holliday does dumb or self delusional people almost as well as Elmore Leonard but there are a few too many of them here; we’ve all met or worked with a Wendell.
