Customer Reviews

Beautiful and gritty

Beautiful and soooooooo gritty, this is a must-read if you're a mystery or noir fan, or if you just appreciate a really good story. The stories in the book are amazingly varied, and give incredible insight into a lot of different characters -- the desperate, the lonely, the morally bankrupt, the loving. Truly, five stars.
