Negative Positive
Title: A bit convoluted, but fun
Review: I like David Housewright's writing. He's a careful, easygoing voice with a dry wit and memorable characters, and his protagonists are fun and engaging. In this current installment, Holland Taylor, Housewright's first protagonist, is hired by an old nemesis. The nemesis is a particularly sleazy lawyer named Howard Truman. Howard wants Holland to discover who killed his client's wife, or failing that at least find the body of the deceased.Holland wanders off investigating, and runs across several interesting characters. The action moves to a small town outside of the big city, and from there things get very interesting and pretty amusing. The plot gets a bit complicated, but overall it's about what a detective novel like this should have. I enjoyed this book a great deal, and would recommend it.
