Title: A not so usual time and place
Review: This is refreshingly not Los Angeles nor yet New York of the Forties, but Kansas City in that era. It's really fun to see KC as it may have been, who knows? But the author paints it convincingly and I believe it. I had a lot of fun with this book.The characters are unusual as well. There's just enough dirty past to make me believe they'd do this work and just enough involvement one with the other to make us care. The drinking, the cigarettes, the music and dancing, it's all part of a bright cocktail that ends too soon.I liked this book well enough that I bought another by the same author about the same characters and then yet another with a different setting and detective. You can't get a better recommendation than that, surely?
