Genre - Mystery

Raymond Chandler died in 1959 and produced a half-finished mystery of which Robert B.Parker discovered and finished the story.

The story of the usual mystery fiction love, murder, hate is anything but. It is set in the 1980’s and a delight to delve into the 80’s with a storyline to match. A good plot and not too gruesome and any sexual connotations are brushed over, as at that time it was not the right thing to do to advertise any extremes of a sexual nature.

A delightful read putting the reader into the era of the 80’s with not only the lifestyle, but every detail from dressing to eating, living accommodation and cars. This makes the story different in its perception of an 80’s era murder mystery.
