I liked the book despite it not being my favorite genre.. The writing is great and the characters well developed. If you like mysteries and interesting characters give it a try.

Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC of this novel. This feels like a throwback book about a throwback band. But in a good way. Zantz, the main character, is the classic LA gumshoe. A real Philip Marlowe, except that he is trying to get in touch his feelings and he manages to get everyone to talk mostly via empathy and not tough guy antics. Weizmann's writing, which is lyrical and provides only enough detail to get the gist of the thing and leaves the rest to the reader, feels like a dream, but that masks a relentless, classic noir structure that takes the reader into all the distinctive oddball cubbyholes in LA on the way to the novel's surprising conclusion. Both novels in this series are very good.
