I've sorta got used to the standard private detective plot.
He grudgingly takes on the case, oftentimes ending up
implicated in a murder. The plot in MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN is
close to that, but it is as refreshingly unusual as Behm's
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. The portrayal of Tourette's was a great
job with a difficult subject. I would imagine some people
would get tired of it towards the end, but I figure that was
intentional. I loved it. Great book. Talented author. He's
not a genre author, is he? Is this the only thing he's done
that falls within the realm of hardboiled?
I can't put my finger on it, but it reminds me some of
Charles Frazier's COLD MOUNTAIN.
