Sweet Silver Blues

Sweet Silver Blues (1987) Glen Cook

This was the second book I read on the Nook, but unlike the first, this is available in paper format, so if you don’t have an e-reader, you aren’t out of luck.

Garrett is a private investigator and hero (read: survivor) of the Cantard wars. When a friend and fellow veteran turns up dead, Garrett is asked to investigate the primary recipient of his friends fortunes–a woman who may well be in the Cantard war zone, a place where no one–human, elf, or gnome–wants to go.

It was a fun read, but then I’m particularly fond of hard boiled mysteries, and fantasy pastiches of hard boiled mysteries are even better.
Rating: 7/10
