review 1: This one is better than the last volume, but it's still not as good as the first. I like how it's sort of folding in on itself, but I think I may just be over hardass dudes being hardasses and women being dames and dolls and so on.I think I'm done with this series, unless there's a good reason to read the next three. It's fine enough noir, but I'm just not into it. Maybe I would like it more if I hadn't been reading Fatale, which takes noir and turns it Lovecraftian, which is so very cool. Could be, yeah, expectations were too high and so I'm being unfair, but I just sort of need more.
review 2: Another entry in Brubaker's Criminal series. This one is set in the late 60s-early 70s, and gives you some backstory about a few of the characters seen in prior books. ... moreThere's three interlinking stories here, each telling part of a larger story. We have the sort of cast you'd expect in a volume of Criminal, all shady characters with compelling stories. The real star is Danica, the lady on the cover. Everything that happens revolves around her and her heartbreaking story. If nothing else, she's the one thing I'll bring away from this volume. less
