Murder Is My Business by Brett Halliday
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love to start the year with a Michael Shayne mystery. I’ve already read most of the series in the early 2000s. I didn’t get to many that didn’t take place in Florida and the ones being pumped out by ghost writers post-Dave Dresser or 1960. I did have this as already read as I mixed this title up with another in the series. Just to note: I hadn’t read this before and somehow have two now marked here.
This was a great Shayne novel. This one taking place in Texas. As usual Dresser knows his terrain and locations seem real as well as the characters. The mystery is very good with many layers involved. The reader is kept guessing until the end, though this one has a key clue flipped at a little too opportune time. Still a very good mystery well worth the time – If you can find it.
Bottom line: I recommend this book.
