the bought 2016 shelf dished up another surprise. the author of this knows what makes film noir and noir books and uses it to their advantage. i might pick up the rest of this series eventually, who knows ( )

I've read several of the books in this series. They are entertaining enough if a bit fluffy. But, hey, they're free on Kindle Unlimited (which I've joined and quit a couple of times; getting ready to quit again so I need to read up on these freebies). ( )

This seemed amateurish in places, but was an enjoyable read. ( )

noir, PI, amateur-sleuth, humor

A fun parody of classic noir well worth reading. The publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need for spoilers, but that can't begin to prepare you for all the laughs both verbal and situational. The characters certainly are, and the plot is not what you think, but it all works.
Johnny Peppers does a great job of keeping himself from laughing out loud during the recording. ( )
