A Gypsy Lady To Die For

Rating:
Summary: First rate characterization -- Highly recommended
Review: Charley Grant has the unique distinction of being an ex-con who specializes in corporate research and investigations. His shortage of clients, however, has resulted in a desperate need for work. Then a senior executive for a high-tech company offers Charley the opportunity to find whoever is committing corporate espionage, but he wants the job done without alerting the press.

Charley's shady background includes alcoholism, insider trading, and violence. With a flair for the unexpected, this unlicensed detective battles the underworld, alcohol and trouble with women. Charley takes on hardcore high society dirty dealers, including a dirty cop named Arabello specializes in a sharp blade. As he works the case, Charley finds himself on a search for personal redemption. Then he meets Irina Kirsten, the Gypsy lady to die for. But Charley isn't ready to die.

Stylistically, Zane Smith adheres to the traditional potboilers, but with a modern flair. His use of dialogue and irreverent humor makes the text sparkle. Further, with adventuresome characterization and a deep understanding of the human psyche, Smith creates memorable characters with depth. Combining that first rate characterization with a plot complete with laughs, twists, and danger, GYPSY LADY TO DIE FOR will satisfy the most hard-core mystery fan.

Review: Zane M. Smith has created a book that the reader cannot put down until the last page has been devoured. I picked the book up to read on a plane trip and after I started reading, I never looked up to eat, drink or use the restroom. I felt like I would miss something if I stopped . The story is an intense detective fiction, and Smith has created some memorable characters with his vivid and witty descriptions. The plot is twisted and keeps you guessing until the last page. This is one book that ended too soon!!! I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action, humor, suspense and mystery. This book has it all and then some.
