Book Review of After the First Death

After the First Death
reviewed on + 47 more book reviews


Good story, reminded me of Cornell Woolrich. Ex-con on bender wakes up in dive hotel with mutilated dead prostitute. Door locked from the inside, must escape with no money or clothes and find killer(s) before police find him. Most of the story takes place around Times Sqare area and has a good sidewalk-level feel for the place (a la CW) back in the days when Bloombergville was still Gotham. Well done.
