Classic Solomita and the debut of one of my all-time fav characters, Detective Stanley Moodrow. wow what a great book! I haven't read Solomita for many years and so I found this one that I hadn't read and was a little concerned by the reviews here but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Sargent's Stanley moodrow is just the way I remembered him and fantastic. the author uses vernacular of the place to Advantage the descriptions are great the characters are outstanding pacing is perfect the wit is extremely good. the ending is a major page-turner and the very last page had me cracking up. I sure wish Solomita would go back to writing if he can.

Left it on the end table in the SW corner of the bar (Pearl St. side) with the other books by the Book Crossing sign
