review 1: After waiting for a couple of months I finally got Paul Cleave's first novel. I have read his other novels and was looking forward to this one. Right off the bat you can tell this was his first because it tends to linger a bit on the same scenes over and over. When he finally gets that nice fast pace going, he goes back to the same topic and you loose momentum. Nonetheless the story is quite good and I will keep on reading his work. In this book we meet Charlie, who's been having a real bad week. First he tried to save two women from being murdered and he failed. Then he tried to kill the murderer and failed as well. He tries to get his ex wife to believe him; and when she doesn't, he ties her up and kidnaps her in hopes of catching the killer with her help. It all goes in... moreto a roller coaster ride that keeps you wondering if they'll ever make it out of this one alive.
review 2: Received as an ARC from the publisher. I'd never heard of this author, but I liked this book. It was definitely "noir". The short sentence dialog reminded me of the old tv series "Dragnet." If it weren't for bad luck, this hero would have no luck at all. He's also very clever in figuring out why the murders occurred that he thinks he'll be accused of committing. It's a quick read that you would want to finish in one sitting. I could've, except I had to work----I hate when that happens! less
