I liked the early 50s atmosphere. less the story.
The book was engaging in its way, as crime novels go. I've heard worse stories, worse storytellings. I felt that the main character was one of the very few likable ones. The women were about as badly behaved as the men -deceitful, grasping, conspiring, defensive, self pitying, generally people you wouldn't want to root for. and I'm not just talking about the criminals.
But there was this flavor that I liked, an unselfconscious, unapologetic backdrop, 1950s scenery, attitudes, prejudices, perspectives that give the book's time period away. I think I liked that more than the plot line. it was like somehow going back in time, via a story that didn't intend to bring a time capsule along for the ride.
