Not quite on the level of Appointment in Samarra (which is amazing) but it has O'Hara's Fitzgerald-like style to it. The story just wasn't quite interesting enough for me. (

Sort of an unexpected Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett-ish feel to it, which is a good thing. I never quite knew where it was going, but it was told in such a way that i wanted to find out. I really liked that Malloy was a bigger-than-life sort of guy, which should have made him annoying to the core, but oddly, i could not dislike him even though i felt i should. Clever writing in my opinion. A little sentimental, but with an unexpected startling event nearer the end all make for a solid 4 stars. Many more O'Hara to go! (
