Evan Horne's Sophomore Gig is a Killer!, February 7, 1997
By A Customer
In the 2nd installment of the Evan Horne mysteries, Bill Moody sets his hero in the neon snakepit of Las Vegas, where an old friend sends Evan on a mission to solve a 37-year-old murder. But doing so peels back layers of Las Vegas history, opening old wounds that someone is willing to kill to keep covered... As in Solo Hand, Bill Moody assembles a vivid cast of characters and plays out a twisted story-line like a jazz virtuoso with murderous chops that include the fate of tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray and the real history of the Moulin Rouge, as well as a handful of subplots that Moody deftly ties together in a coolly musical climax. For all its brooding authenticity, regarding both jazz and Las Vegas, Death of a Tenor Man is a fast-paced and well-wrought mystery.

LITERATURE FROM AND FOR THE HIP, November 1, 2010
If you're ignorant, or stupid, don't try to read anything by Bill Moody. His writings are for intelligent, well read, artistically aware individuals. His creations are literary works of art. His words are choreographed like a Bob Fosse production. As i read each of his books, soundtracks came through to me. The "Great American Novel" is in the capable hands of Bill Moody.
