Much of it, especially the beginning, is evocative of 40s noir. A blonde bombshell with a French accent walks into a seedy bar and hires our hero, a PI who is so down on his luck that he doesn't have an office, to find her sister. The only clue to her sister's whereabouts is a nude photo of the sister taken at a lake. The PI, Devlin, pounds the streets searching for the mysterious sister and often searching for his missing client. In between, Devlin is shot, assaulted, and hunted by everyone from the Russian Mafia to the FBI. A worthwhile read. I'm very sorry I couldn't finish this book. I read a quarter of it before giving up. The characters felt flat, the plot was almost non-existent, and I couldn't believe how sloppy was the main guy Devlin, a private investigator. He didn't pick up the clues and wasn't interested in them from the beginning. I couldn't continue with it. The only character with a little more spark was his friend, a copper. Looking for something light and quick to read, I thought maybe this book that I downloaded to my Kindle some time ago might fit the bill. And it did. It's the first in the Dev Haskell – Private Investigator series. I didn't expect great literature and I didn't get it. I got a fun, entertaining, and nicely written novel with some darkness to it, including human trafficking, and a protagonist who isn't quite the cream of the crop, and who bumbles his way through investigations and personal relationships. This is a good “interlude” book, for those times you want something light before you tackle the more serious stuff. I liked it enough so that I am going to continue reading the series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The FIRST in the Dev Haskell series, Russian Roulette is an entertaining tale of intrigue, rank ineptitude and one night stands. Dysfunctional Private Investigator, Dev Haskell wakes up in bed with his latest client only to learn she's signed him up with the Russian mob. Their 'special' relationship quickly finds Dev at odds with the local police and an FBI task force. In the process Dev is forced to place one foot on both sides of the law. Another fast paced, engrossing suspense thriller from Minnesota's Master of the Bizarre, Mike Faricy Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
