The Hard Stuff: Stakeout / Bodywork / Chinatown
bombschell avatar reviewed not worth the money on + 214 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


None of the three short stories in this book are worth the money. None of these even make any sense, and the last one "Chinatown" was the worst. Fragmented, jagged, bad pacing and even worse dialog. "Bodywork" was one of those whose story was just barely plausible, and if the leads were better written it might have worked. I couldn't finish "Stakeout" it was a mess.
