Title: Basic cliche ridden detective novel
Product review: This is your basic private detective story. All the cliches are here. Getting involved with the old neighborhood, the old aquaintance being murdered, the rich guy that tries to buy off the PI, the PI is always broke, organized crime and crooked politicians, the PI getting beat up, the gun battle in the end and a few threads left hanging. Alot of the "mysteries" are fairly obvious and you know who will be killed but there are some twists in the end.The story does move along and rarely drags. But it is never exciting enough where you can't put the book down. And it never pulls you into the PI's world. The writing style is a poor imitation of other detective novels.The novelty of the book is that the PI is a woman. But the way the book is written, it doesn't really add anything to the story. The PI could have been anyone. I didn't hate the book but I would never buy another by the author.
