Frankly, I didn't care much for this book.

The premise is boring and stereotypical, the writing is confusing, and the characters are paper thin. Maybe I just don't like noir-ish stories? I'm not sure what happened, but reading this became a chore. I don't think I'll be picking up any similar books for the time being.

Take a Bow, M.C., is a fast-moving private-eye thriller with off-beat characters and bad-pass dialogue. Think Q. Tarantino meets P. Marlowe.
What's not to like about a noir thriller set in Prague with ex-pat American, Canadian, Russian, and Balkan characters. Please, Gerald Heys, give us more installments of the Novak at al. Detective Agency.

Looking forward to this book, it was a disappointment, as I found it difficult to get into. It was a head scratcher and I didn't finish it. It was noirish, a genre I generally don't enjoy.
