4.0 out of 5 stars
Furst before he was First still darn good!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Caribbean account (Hardcover)
Those familiar with the current WWII settings of Alan Furst's thrillers like Dark Star and Red Gold will be amazed at the difference between those and his earlier works. But I found this novel to be a wonderfully enjoyable read, kind of a cross between current James Ellroy and Carl Hiaasen--yet a shade lighter than both in regards to Ellroy's darkness and Hiassen's sometimes over-the-top humor. Was leaning toward 5 stars, but alas, I am too big a fan of Furst's current novels to give this the same grade I give those. Perfect summer reading. Should be reprinted in trad paperback form(his earlier novels were well received by book critics), they would sell.
