5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece of low-key suspense, Nov 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: THE FAR CRY (Paperback)
It's really sad to see this book out of print, and I hope Black Lizard or another reprint series will consider reviving it. This is a masterpiece of low-key suspense. Frederick Brown uses great subtlety to gradually introduce the mystery and draw the protagonist into it. The murdered woman in the story has a ghost-like presence; but the way she haunts the tale is much more credible than a supernatural tale.

The protagonist is fascinating because he seems so banal. He's no hero, and seemingly no villain, but a man forced by circumstances and finances to endure a bland, lonely, meaningless existence. It is this vacuum of meaning in his life that draws him to be obsessed with this murder victim from the past.

This is one of my all-time favorite mysteries.

Brown's other books are also quite worthwhile, especially MY NAME IS DEATH and THE FABULOUS CLIPJOINT.
