Description
Some Dead Genius Novel by Lenny Kleinfeld is a fast-paced, black comedy that follows a series of artists' murders investigated by two smart, cynical cops. With its slick and playful writing style, this hardboiled novel captures the gritty urban detective yarn genre with wit and cinematic visuals. The story takes place in modern-day Chicago, where the urban art scene is put to good use in an extended and thrilling narrative. The author's writing is reminiscent of Tarantino and the Coen brothers, making for a plot-driven read that's hard to put down. A standout feature of this book is its refreshing portrayal of humanity, adding depth to what could be a typical gritty urban detective story. If you enjoy books by Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, you may find Some Dead Genius Novel to be an engaging and entertaining read.
