Daniel Friedman (6)

Meilleur que le premier tome, le personnage de Buck gagne en profondeur et en maturité (à 90 ans, c'est peut-être normal?)

Un exercice amusant sur l'âge et le décalage.

Wow, new favorite. Friedman nails the cranky old man dialog. I really want more from this author but I guess there can't be much more time for Buck Schatz to solve crimes. Even if you don't like mysteries read this book for the marvelous characters.

This octogenarian sleuth may not know a lot about computers (he thinks "google" is the sound people make when you punch them in the throat) but Buck Schatz is one heck of a detective. There are 2 Buck Schatz books out so far, and this is the first. I liked it a lot. It was gritty and funny and didn't shy away from the setbacks that come with aging. Buck Schatz isn't punching throats any more, but that doesn't mean he can't solve a mystery, especially with his grandson as sidekick.
