funny and human
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
It's a pleasure to find an investigator who is as concerned for the guilty as for anyone hurt. By being sympathetic rather than tough, Dangerous gets the best out of everyone, if they have a best to offer. Giving him a sidekick who is more involved with library research than with actual life is a great way to include information without seeming to bog down in the past. His decency does get Dangerous into some amusing situations, but his humanity turns out to be an effective investigative tool, regardless of surprises.

I have now read three of the Dangerous Davies books, based on my delight with this first one. All the antics of Dangerous are amusing and it is only incidental that he solves the mystery.
Haunting, melancholy, slightly cliched, but brilliant.
