the penname Robert Dietrich.
"House on Q Street," "Angel Eyes," "Murder on the Rocks" and
others feature D.C. accountant Steve Bentley. Well-plotted,
witty dialogue. It's been a while since I've read them, but
remember enjoying them very much. That was before I knew that
Dietrich was Hunt. Don't know if that knowledge would make
any difference either way. As I recall, the books were sort
of a mix of Chandler wiseguy dialogue with Ross Thomas'
knowledge of how things work.
*********** Thanks, Dick. Jennifer Lopez was in a movie
called Angel Eyes here recently. I wonder if it's an
adaptation of the book. By the way, this weekend I was
browsing the used book store and found your name on a book
called SLEEPING DOG. It looks interesting. I'm working my way
forward thru the TBR pile according to publish dates, and I'm
in the 40's now. Gonna be a while, but I'm looking forward to
reading it.
