What fans like best about the Dan Turner stories is the absurd language ("private skulk" for private detective; "roscoes" for handguns; "whatchamacallems" for breasts) that was Bellem's specialty. Unfortunately, he became so preoccupied with this synthetic slang that it got in the way of his storytelling, and Bellem was a pretty good storyteller otherwise. Blue Murder contains a few such indulgences (roscoes tend to say "Chow-chow!" or "Chud-chud-chud!" rather than simply "Bang!" or "Pow!"), but they don't become a hindrance to the momentum of the novel. Too dumb to be a good private eye, Duke Pizzatello is nonetheless amiable and determined, and I guarantee that his Los Angeles misadventures won't bore you. Vintage pulp aficionados can't go wrong with this book.
By the way, if you're curious about the Dan Turner stories, check out The Great American Detective (William Kittredge and Steven M. Krauzer, eds.) for "The Lake of the Left-Hand Moon." It's one of the better examples of what most fans consider to be prime Bellem.… (plus d'informations)
