The time and setting were never really clear to me, it seemed that Lacy wanted it to be a certain decade and had looked into a few things and imagined what the vocabulary of the day would sound like for each of his characters and their specific backgrounds, but it often felt like the author unintentionally confused slang and other vernacular from different time periods. The time and setting just really didn't seem well researched. But I am not a historian, and perhaps my confusion is due to a lack of knowledge on my part. Nevertheless the formatting of the book also made it a task to read at times. The infrequent switches between narrators, slowed the pace down for several chapters and then the last several chapters felt rushed. The structure of the final chapter was the most confusing and the writing device used here was a genre technique that could have been a nice touch but didn't fit well with the structure of the rest of the novel and thus fell flat here. The language and structure of the novel was just really distracting to me. I'm also not sure what the genre was supposed to be, but it couldn't be a thriller or a mystery since everything is explained to the reader early on and you just wait until the end to see how the protagonist discovers everything you've already been told. Furthermore, the descriptive passages didn't really help me to "see" anything. It was hard to picture what Betsy and many of the other characters actually looked like.All of that said, I did end up caring for these characters and wanting to know more about them, and I cared what happened to them - that counts for something at least. Lacy's work is a pleasant light read you can pick up whenever and enjoy at your leisure, at your own pace. Nothing exceptional or groundbreaking, but enjoyable anyway when you just want to pass the time.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.not worth the buckBy N. AndreassenLess than a quarter of the way through this book, I'd have more than enough. Two things I really didn't like about it: One, it switches back and forth between first and third person narratives. Not illegal, but the first person sections are in the the detective's voice--we go along on his travels, look for clues with him, etc. The third person sections exclude the detective and include a scene in which the criminals, who at this point are wholly unknown to the detective, plan the crime, discuss their motivations, and so on--not in real time, before the fact, but in a flashback. This weird technique creates an eerie situation in which the reader knows more than the detective knows, which to my mind is a violation of the "ground rules:" in good detective fiction, there's a sacred trust between the author, the eye of the "I" (the shamus), and things that a reader can possibly know to be facts. If you violate that trust, you spoil the game. Most violations of this go the other way: an author withholds facts, then unfairly reveals at the climax that the detective actually knew something probative all along, something which the author was keeping a secret from the reader, in order to stage a final reveal. The result, of course, is that the reader can't possibly solve the case simply by working hand in hand with the private eye, and that's a gyp.In this case, the authors's sin is to let the reader know too much and to keep the investigator in the dark. That's no fun, either--it also spoils the game. The reader is in the uncomfy position of waiting for shamus to catch up, and we really do prefer a detective who we know stays a step or two ahead. But I said there two things I don't like about this book; the second one is that the writing is pretty bad. In that same scene, where the criminals are talking over their upcoming crime, one of them says to the other, "Look, Sam, the police are efficient because most killings fit one of several patterns." Does that sound remotely like a career criminal making some plans with his accomplice a few pages later, the same guy says: "If we get rid of him we're safe, have money, the good life. I'm back with Therese, and you're a big actor." For my money--even just ninety-nine cents, folks--that's too much exposition for plausible dialogue, plus it's obviously more for the reader's benefit than the accomplice's. (Surely the accomplice already knows his own wildest dreams!)Here's a brief moment from the following chapter (note that we're now in first person):There was moment of silence and I studied her legs, which were worth studying. She motioned toward a bottle and several glasses on a marble table with driftwood legs. "Noilly Prat, Mr. Harris""No thanks, Mrs. Turner. And what is it" We sounded like a soap opera.She smiled and her lips were thick and red and girlish, and my temperature shot up. "Vermouth--French." (end of quotation).I think it's really sad when a writer creates such silly dialogue that he feels a need to insert the phrase, "we sounded like a soap opera." I also think, if temperatures are really shooting up, it's not necessary to say so. I also think, if legs are worth studying, all that needs to be said is "I studied her legs." I also wonder why thick, red lips conform to "girlish." I also find "with driftwood legs" unintentionally amusing, as for instance, compare to this parallel structure: "She motioned toward a bottle and several glasses on a marble table with her index finger." IN SUMMARY, this is not great literature--far, far from it. Better to reread Chandler or Ross Macdonald for the seventeenth or eighteenth time.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.1950s Private EyeBy ElliotI was not familiar with Ed Lacy before I found this Kindle book, so it is the first of his novels that I have read. I found it a good, entertaining detective story, but hardly a classic. The prose is serviceable, but without the real flair of a Raymond Chandler or a Ross Macdonald. The setting in upper Manhattan of the 1950s is presented realisitically; the detective is a sympathetic character (he is also a part-time auto mechanic and a single father), and the story is moderately suspenseful, albeit unusually stuctured.You cannot really call this a mystery, because we learn the identity of the killers in the first chapter (long before the detective does). We don't, at first, understand why they killed a man they barely know, but the story proceeds on parallel tracks-- in one, the PI is trying to find out whodunnit, while flashbacks tell us the background of the killers and eventually explain why they did it. Lacy makes his killers not soulless villains, but understandable, almost sympathetic men who start out with a small-time fraud and are eventually led into becoming reluctant murderers.By about two-thirds of the way through the book, we know who killed the two victims and why, and the detective has a pretty good idea of this as well. The last part of the book shows him planning to trap the killers so he can show what he knows but cannot prove.On balance, this is an entertaining read, but I have to differ with the other reviewers who consider this a noir classic. Not bad at all, but not an essential part of the hard-boiled canon.See all 4 customer reviews... Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter ...
