Garrett No. 4,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Old Tin Sorrows (Garrett Files, Bk. 4) (Paperback)
Old Tin Sorrows
Old Tin Sorrows is the fourth book in the Garrett Files collection. Garrett is a tough ex-marine, private investigator in the mold of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. The series is set in a fantasy world that is quite amusing. His advisor is "the Dead Man" who is really not a man at all and isn't dead exactly, but, oh never mind, buy this book; you'll want to read it several times. In this book Garrett is doing a favor for his old marine Sergeant who asks him to figure out who is poisoning his ex-general (who just happens to have a beautiful young daughter. He, also introduces a new character, a Dr. Doom who sounds like he could be in future books,at lest I hope so, he sounds interesting Highly recommended for fans of Cook and high adventure. 1.

A Classic Garrett Case defines the Man.,
By buck_c@polygon.com (St. Louis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Tin Sorrows (Garrett, P.I.) (Paperback)
This is the book for anyone who has enjoyed any other of the Garrett novels. It is the second book in the sequence of events in Garrett's life. It explains the background of Elenor, the haunting painting that hangs above Garrett's desk. Fans of the Dead Man will be disappointed, as he makes but a brief appearence in this book. This is possibly Cook's best Murder mystery / Ghost story.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent 4th in Cook's Garrett Series,
By
This review is from: Old Tin Sorrows (Garrett Files, Bk. 4) (Paperback)
This is the 4th in Cook's Garrett series ("Sweet Silver Blues," "Bitter Gold Hearts," "Cold Copper Tears," "Old Tin Sorrows," "Dread Brass Shadows," "Red Iron Nights," "Deadly Quicksilver Lies," "Petty Pewter Gods," "Faded Steel Heat," "Angry Lead Skies," and "Whispering Nickel Idols"). If this isn't the best of the whole Garrett series, it's right up there fighting for the slot. For all intents and purposes, there's no Dead Man in this book: it's all Garrett, with some support from Morley and a couple of appearances from Saucerhead and the Dojango triplets. It's got good pacing and keeps you scratching your head trying to figure out what's going on all the way to the end. It's also one of the darkest books in the series. Nasty stuff. But, it explains why Garrett is so fixated on his picture of Eleanor in later books. Excellent, excellent book. I rate it at 5 stars out of 5.
BTW: At the time of this review, this book is long out of print. It's tough to find anywhere. As an alternative, look around for the SFBC's "Garrett, P.I.." This book is part of that collection.
