Saratoga Hexameter: A Charlie Bradshaw Mystery [Mass Market Paperback]

Stephen Dobyns (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

PI Charlie Bradshaw goes undercover as a poet after noting that bad poems link several incidents--a jewelry heist, a nurse's mysterious death and a critic's terrorization. According to PW , "The send-ups of the critical and artistic community are only some of the pleasures of this compact, seamless, tremendously amusing mystery in the best tradition of the genre."

This review is from: Saratoga Hexameter: A Charlie Bradshaw Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the better books in the Charlie Bradshaw series, although Dobyns does briefly get a little wordy and off the track at times. Charlie solves three mysteries in this one and they all come to satisfying conclusions. There's enough of the Saratoga locales included here to keep those familiar with the area interested.
