3.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective, May 5, 2002
By 
don cody (Oxnard, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dangerous Davies (Hardcover)
A wonderful little book. Dangerous is full of incongruities, but he's loyal, dogged, "canny" in his own way, and seems to hold no grudges. I make a point of rereading it every year or year-and-a-half because it always makes me smile. (I close my eyes and I can almost see Dangerous charging up the stairs with a bucket on his head.) It helps that it is a competent mystery with a surprise ending. For a double treat, see the English-made movie by the same title starring Bernard Cribbins.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny and human, November 12, 2007
It's a pleasure to find an investigator who is as concerned for the guilty as for anyone hurt. By being sympathetic rather than tough, Dangerous gets the best out of everyone, if they have a best to offer. Giving him a sidekick who is more involved with library research than with actual life is a great way to include information without seeming to bog down in the past. His decency does get Dangerous into some amusing situations, but his humanity turns out to be an effective investigative tool, regardless of surprises.
