The Same Lie Twice by Ron Goulart
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a speedy tale that is chock full of great storytelling. Goulart eases back from the typical humor he plunges a story into and takes a Raymond Chandler-esque turn with John Easy.
The characters are particularly well written. Including one that appears one way but is written far more complicated, though little is outwardly indicated about the layers in the book and have little to do with the conclusion. The settings are well done.
I really like how each chapter skips over a period of time and Goulart then cleanly continues the story including a bit of well written narrative that keeps the story moving and covers what was missed. Very nicely done.
The conclusion is the biggest drawback as not all ties up in a typical clean fashion.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
