Dave Schaafsma’s Reviews > Anatomy of a Murder > Status Update

This is one of the bestsellers of American mystery fiction. No one thinks of Robert Traver as in the same class as the elite mystery/noir writers such as Thompson, Chandler, Hammet or Cain, but this is still so good. I will also re-view the much-awarded film adaptation. We know there was a murder, and we know who did it right from the first, so most of this is courtroom drama, but written as a former DA who knows.
