Have Gat – Will Travel by Richard S. Prather
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A great collection of six short stories featuring Shell Scott. A few of the stories are weaker than the rest but all worthwhile.
Clearly a few of these were written previous to the standard setup of Scott and his cadillac, his pall in Homicide, etc. I guess these were set for other detectives Prather rewrote with Scott in place.
Something I liked about these stories is setting the sexual stuff aside. Some is written in, but with such short stories there is little room for what is typically in a longer Scott story.
Characters are well written and typical of a Scott story. The settings are more sparsely written i guess due to the shorter format.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 of 10 points.
