WHERE THERE'S SMOKE

Rating:
Summary: A good old-fashioned detective story
Review: WHERE THERE'S SMOKE is a good old-fashioned detective story featuring a retired police detective and a stolen corpse. There's just enough misdirection to keep the plot interesting. The characters aren't particularly deep, but they are believable and interesting. Even though apparently set and written in the '60s, the novel isn't particularly dated. If you like the better TV detectives (and the rare episodes which are actually interesting), you'll love this detective, and like this story.
