About this listen

Fadeout is the first of Joseph Hansen’s twelve classic mysteries featuring rugged Dave Brandstetter, an insurance investigator who is contentedly gay.

When entertainer Fox Olson’s car plunges off a bridge in a storm, a death claim is filed, but where is Olson’s body? As Brandstetter questions family, fans, and detractors, he grows certain Olson is still alive and must find him before the would-be killer does.

Suspenseful and wry, shrewd and deeply felt, Fadeout remains as fresh today as when it startled readers more than thirty years ago.

good

I read this as part of my attempt to read through a list of 50 essential mysteries. I would not have even heard of it otherwise, but I'm glad I did. I liked it. Great writing, a likable protagonist and a solid mystery. A few scenes got me a little misty eyed, even, thinking about loss. It was very 70s, but in good way. It held up exceptionally well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
