When you read crime noir stories, whether old classics or new tales, you expect a certain style. You expect the story to be compact, and to move at a quick pace. Sadly this book lacks both of those elements. It is too long, this would have worked a lot better if it was about 100 pages shorter; instead things get dragged out that do not need be.
