review 1: I began Ki Longfellow with Houdini Heart which staggered me with its language, ideas, use of superb metafiction, and storytelling. So, of course, I wanted more of the same. I read another of her titles - Walks Away Woman. It wasn't anything like Houdini Heart. And yet I loved it. Wandering about in the Sonoran Desert with a broken down housewife who comes to life in a most wonderful way. So I went off to find another Walks Away Woman and discovered Longfellow doesn't repeat herself unless you count her charming, funny, and mysterious Sam Russo noir murder mysteries. I can't really think of another writer who reinvents her work with every book. Or one who can write so well in so many styles and genres. I honestly believe if she'd stuck with one genre (like writing ... moresomething like her The Secret Magdalene over and over) as most writers do, she'd be a household name by now. But she hasn't. So someone like me didn't find her until I stumbled over her. I am thrilled I did. BIG HANDS UP.
review 2: A terrific series. I just read something that got rave reviews in the major press. It had no mystery, the detective was boring, the characters colorless and the dialogue pedestrian. But here's a series where all the reverse true. Sam Russo is funny, sad, honest, real, and very colorful. His dog Jane could have a book of her own. As for Mrs. Willingford, well, all I can say, I've give a lot to have one a Mrs. Willingford in my life. There are real mysteries, not one I so far solved on my own. And great worlds to explore with Sam and his cronies. How much does it cost, do you think, to get those big time bullshit reviews? less
