Nameless Detective

review 1: Three PI's, four cases or plot lines, three of four with "clients" that won't make the agency any money. One is a pro bono case involving an elderly woman and vandalism. Two are personal with Nameless and Tamara going after people who have wronged them or their family. Mundane but realistic scenarios to include a bail jumper. But Pronzini wraps more into the seemingly obvious, always introducing another layer. With Nameless it's the discovery of drugs in his stepdaughter's room that leads him to a surprising further discovery. With Jake Runyon it's more than a simple bail jumping as he discovers an almost Cain and Abel relationship between two brothers. All set in the Bay area and it's dark. I can feel the cold. I'm glad there are like thirty of these or so. Quick, enterta... moreining reads. Lots of betrayals in this one.
review 2: I'm pretty sure I've read the entire 'nameless' series, but the reveal that nameless = Bill was so casual that it made me think this had occurred a book or two ago. In any event, I don't find this very memorable (and though I've read his other 20 or so books, it looks like I've never reviewed any of them).Full disclosure, though, I read this mostly during Colin's soccer practice, so was not as attentive to either the soccer or the book as I probably should have been. less
