But these stories are completely modern as well. No double crossin' dames who get taken down with a harsh word or a look from Mike Hammer. The characters in these stories are 20th century crooks and punks, taking advantage of every opportunity to get theirs. A good read, but keep the lights on and the doors locked. Whew! Scary. ( ) I felt like the stories here gave a good sense of the city as a character, but none of the stories really stuck with me once I was done. There should be more to Noir stories than just grit and gloom, although this book certainly covers the grit and gloom; I just never felt any depth beneath them. Still, it was an easy read and it was nice to get a different, and more modern, literary perspective on London. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
