Continue the Dev Haskell - Private Investigator Series with Case 2: Mr Swirlee (Formally Entitled Mr Softee)Skirt chasing, wise cracking, dysfunctional Private Investigator Dev Haskell leaves his usual stool at the Spot Bar to take on what looks like a cakewalk job, providing protection for Mr. Swirlee. Turns out, however, Mr. Swirlee is anything but... He's a ruthless 'entrepreneur' with a flash temper, a mean streak a mile wide, and a laundry list of people who want to do him in including a sex crazed girlfriend named Lola. Things go from bad to worse until Dev enlists the help of former client, sometime friend and felon, Tony "Dog" Colli. Murder, mayhem, romance, double cross and bodies follow in their wake. Just an average week in the St. Paul your mother warned you about, delivered with a healthy serving of the bizarre. A fast paced tale of bottom feeders and criminal class, Mr. Swirlee is another journey through the screwed up world that is Dev Haskell's life.… (mehr)

It's sort of semi-hard-boiled fiction. Devlin Haskel is a PI, who is not very good at his craft, and who is amazingly impetuous. He leaps into situations that are inherently a bad idea and ignores things that are obviously problems until such time as they bite him in the butt. Reading this reminds me of watching those old B&W "mystery/horror" movies from the 1940s where you keep screaming at the actor not to open that door...or whatever, but he does it anyway, and doesn't profit from the doing. This book involved some skullduggery out of ice cream trucks in their after hours.

I dunno, it was vaguely interesting, but certainly not all that great. I might read another in the series, but I'd be better off reading old cowboy books by B. M. Bower if I just want to idle away a few hours. This would be 3*- were GoodReads to allow such things. Note 3*- is better than 2* .
