I wrote that quickly and poorly. My dissapointment had
nothing to do with the book not being hard boiled, though
that could be easy to miss by my bad writing. I just wanted
to offer a heads up to our more hardcore listees.
Thanks for your comments on the book, Kevin. The Maltese
Falcon comparison is definitely something to consider. I do
enjoy books with that smoky/dreamy/ethereal feel, which The
Light of Day has in spades. (Possible spoiler ahead) I just
kept waiting for the twist at the end that would make me want
to re-read the whole thing right away. Your comments, of
course, explain one reason as to why there was no such
twist.
