"I'm not doing any plot summary except PI Milo Milodragovich, 60, investigates a murder in Texas with forays to his native state of Montanna. Milo loves his nose candy and booze but still manages to get the job done with aplomb.
What I like is the humanity embedded under his rough veneer. He goes to extraordinary lengths to help not only his pals but his fellow man. There's masculine humor here, sure, but the precise turned phrase on almost every page catches me. I guess it's poetic but the phrases don't strike me as overplayed or too lush.
Hardboiled and noir at the same time, the plot clips along at a heady pace, always a plus for me. Milo in Texas is a little like the fish out of water. The action sequences are violent but not that many crop up. In sum, a great read and I'll dip into other titles in this series."
"Holy cow, over the top, two fisted dick-fic. As I feel detective fiction could reasonably be called. A great read but it seems to chronicle the end of Milo's carer. Kind of wish I'd started in the beginning with 1975's The Wrong Case."
