Customer Reviews

Wonderful Jewish PI

I enjoyed every minute of this book. Morris Weiss is truly a winning character. I look forward to reading more books in this wonderful series! Isidore Hairblum has a new fan!

Murder in Gotham

This fun, fast-paced PI mystery is a throwback to the hardboilded thrillers I devoured from the 1950s. Haiblum puts in his own twists--Weiss, his likeable PI is Jewish, and his characters' speech patterns are straight from Damon Runyon. The mystery is clever, the people likeable, and the chapter headings from "The Casebooks of Morris Weiss" are not to be skipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Gotham!
