- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5We forget or discount the fear of Russia and communism in the US of 1951. The story is an interrupted first person narrative. It certainly requires a willing suspension of disbelief. The characters are all well developed. The new Orleans being evoked seems quite a different place than the New Orleans of today, simpler and less closed to strangers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dillon Bryant is searching for oil in a Mexican swamp when he receives a letter that he should return home because his wife is in trouble. When he gets home he finds that she has been murdered and that she had a very dangerous and mysterious past. Aided by a newspaper reporter, Jill Townsend, Dil tries to unravel his wife's past and find who murdered her. Turns out there are Nazis and communists in her background.This is a tight fast moving mystery with copious amounts of violence.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this book, you'll learn:- How to outwit 2 thugs you have you in a speeding car on the way to a certain death- The usefulness of a trash can lid in an alley fight- How to choose your friends- How to quickly get over the death of a wifeWith John D. MacDonald as your teacher, you can be sure the lessons will be memorable, though they will probably leave a bad taste in your mouth, and that the character he uses as an example isn't somebody you'd like to hang around very much.This book starts off very intriguingly, then strays a bit into sort of a kitchen sink approach to bad guys, friends, bosses, and of course women. The setting is a bit different for MacDonald, however, as this book takes place in New Orleans, which is rendered in an appropriately seedy and murky manner. The parts of the story are better than the whole, reminding you of just what a good writer MacDonald can be, but making you a bit sad when you compare it with some of his other early novels (this one was 1951) such as Dead Low Tide, the Damned, or the End of the Night. Perhaps if he had slowed down his production a bit, he might have produced a few more minor masterpieces like those.As I have said before, however; if you are a MacDonald fan, you'll want to read this one.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good tale about a man naive about women. I surely can relate to that! It's a page turner, but what slows me down is the savory descriptions and wonderful metaphors. Sometimes I'm downright chucking for long minutes.
