Negative Positive
Title: It Shows Its Age.
Review: I enjoy hardboiled fiction. Always have. But this book, although its wartime California setting is interesting, definitely creaks with age. I sympathize with the put upon bride (second time with the same heel) but I don't want to spend a whole book with her. Or her bridegroom. Then, too, no body bothered with even minimal line editing so the typos and very odd space breaks are off-putting.
Is the review positive or negative?
