Thanks for the great reviews, Jeff. After reading Sailcloth
Shroud a month or so ago, I think Dead Calm is the only
Charles William that I've got left in the house that I
haven't read. I don't want to get too low. Based on your
reviews, I think I'll go for Girl Out Back novel and The
Hotspot movie. Although there are women characters in all of
his books, I think Hotspot is the only one that I've read so
far with a real femme fatale in it. Like you, Scorpion Reef
is my least favorite.
Speaking of hardboiled movies, I've got Day of the Locusts
(based on Nathanael West's novel) to watch from Netflix. I'm
looking forward to that. With all the B movie titles
associated with hardboiled, this one looks like a major
production with several big names.
