Fun send up of film noir in pulp literature and los angeles culture in a frozen celluloid time capsule

Set in a decade where the comedy and homages work in todays modern popular culture. This unlikely pair lead the story in an unconventional take on the buddy cop/comedy as they work in opposition to each other to solve a dark crime, with a seedy leadup, all the while surrounded by the city of hollywood and its movie star culture. Something out of the pages of a detective fiction magazine. Post modern film noir in a brighter reflection of itself

A true read.

Every chapter ending in you just dying to know everything. who doesn't like a good book that keeps you intrigued? Definitely a book to keep you guessing. Throughout always keeping you on both the killer and detective side. It has been a while since i picked up a book and wanted to read it straight to the end. But Chris Carter has a way of doing it. None of his books have let me down. He does a collection leading up to this one book following the same detective on his different stories. Catching serial killers and bringing the undetectable.

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Open Grave (DCI Jack Lambert, #1) in Books

Sep 28, 2018

Once again Bloodhound Books has introduced me to yet another fabulous author and series! Always a fan of police/detective stories I was sucked right in with great characters and curious circumstances. Jack Lambert is an interesting yet loveable character, tough yet a good guy with a soft side. Having an ex-wife, child and girlfriend, all of whom he lost because he was honest with about his sexuality, yet he tries to maintain a good relationship. Simply the fact that we have a gay tough a$$ detective was enough to draw me in! Recommended and can't wait for more books in this series!
