Book Review of Hemingway Deadlights: A Mystery

Hemingway Deadlights: A Mystery
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


A very entertaining book. Good mystery and frequently very funny. Atkinson very nearly captures Hemingway's writing style and shows a great knowledge of the man and his times. The only downer for me was that the book is set in 1956 and no matter how much one enjoys Hemingway as a character and detective, I could never discard the knowledge that Papa would be gone in five years. Still, very much worth reading.
