Movie Rating

A very enjoyable sequel with plenty of action. It's missing a certain something second time round though, maybe the detective work to track his daughter down added more suspense in the first. Good to see the daughter and ex-wife have larger roles this time though. Unfortunately though I got a bad feeling there could be a 3rd, which really would stretch the franchise too far.

Book Rating

I had never before read a book by Grace Hitchcock, and I am please to say this will not be the last one I read by her. This book set in the Chicago Worlds Fair is a great historical detective novel, with a quirky main character that really pulls you in from the start.
I can not wait to read more from this author.

"The Name of the Rose. That’s a cool movie. You got Sean Connery, you got a detective story, you got a bit of gay monk sex. Can’t go wrong with that. If you’re Scottish and you don’t like Sean Connery movies, there’s something f—in’ wrong with you. Actually, if you’re human and you don’t like Sean Connery movies, there’s something wrong with you."

David Benioff recommended Dirty Snow in Books (curated)

"One of the most prolific writers in history, Simenon is best known for his crime novels featuring the detective Maigret. “I’ll manufacture Fords for a while until enough money comes in,” he said once, “Then I’ll make Rolls-Royces for pleasure.” Dirty Snow is a Rolls. A slender novel about a petty criminal living in a nameless occupied city, this book punches well above its weight class."
