4.0 out of 5 stars
Good P.I. Yarn
Resembling the tired-of-life, cynical Phillip Marlowe and the tough-mindedness of Mike Hammer, Jack Hagee travels about New York in search of a client's former fiancee. Some excellent action mingles with the outstanding descriptions of New York city. The only drawback is the focus on underground sex that fills the last quarter of the book. Other than that, a grade A...

Refreshing writing style, interesting story
How many times can you tell the age old "femme fatale uses everyone to get her way" story? One more time, apparently! I purchased this book because of a short story that I read in a compilation called "100 Dastardly Little Detective Stories".

This review is from: No Free Lunch (Paperback)
Resembling the tired-of-life, cynical Phillip Marlowe and the tough-mindedness of Mike Hammer, Jack Hagee travels about New York in search of a client's former fiancee. Some excellent action mingles with the outstanding descriptions of New York city. The only drawback is the focus on underground sex that fills the last quarter of the book. Other than that, a grade A mystery, best suited to be read on a rainy night.

This review is from: No Free Lunch (Paperback)
How many times can you tell the age old "femme fatale uses everyone to get her way" story? One more time, apparently!
I purchased this book because of a short story that I read in a compilation called "100 Dastardly Little Detective Stories". In that compilation I was impressed with Henderson straight ahead and rough style in what turned out to be Chapter 1 of "No Free Lunch". Well, it turned out that straight ahead style is good, but not good enough to make the book a page turner. I forced my way through this book, but would consider other Henderson works just to see if I had a knee jerk reaction to this book. |
