Crais and Coburn meet Hammett
15. Mai 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
A lot of authors have been touted as the second coming of Dashiel Hammett, but Coleman comes closest for me. He has all the grit of Hammett, but has the personally developed main character that Crais and Coburn do so well.
Moe Prager is an ex-cop turned wine salesman who would much rather be detecting than sipping and selling. When an old "friend" comes for help, bodies start turning up and his may be next. The plot is a good one with enough uncertainty throughout to keep the pages turning.
It is the characters that sets this book apart. Moe is rich and believeable. His observations (the book is written in the first person) about other characters in the book resonate with believability. We have all known people just like the characters in this mystery.
The setting is Brooklyn in the late 1980's and Coleman captures the tone of that decade well.
Frankly, I do not understand why Coleman is not a best-selling author. He is a winner of the Shamus Award and other prizes for his predecessor book, "The James Deans". This was my first Coleman/Moe Praeger book, but I'm going back to the bookstore for his others. This is highly recommended.

The Soul of Reed
12. April 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the first Moe Prager book I've read, and I love the spare but gritty prose Mr. Coleman uses. I liked Moe from the beginning, and his apparent marital problems set up the possibility that an attractive detective he ends up working with will turn his head a bit further than appropriate.
I'm not familiar with Brooklyn, but I liked the feel of the place where the book is set. There are enough twists and turns in the story to keep people busy guessing what's next, and toward the end, when I thought I had an idea what might be coming, I so wanted it to be true.
I own two other of Mr. Coleman's books and they have been moved way up on my stack of books waiting to be read. The soul of a poet shimmers in this book, and that's very good for those of us who read it.

Coleman's Best Yet!
3. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Not to diminish Coleman's earlier work -- they've all been great all the way back to his first, Dylan Klein novel, 'Life Goes Sleeping' from 1991 -- but he's really hit his stride with 'Soul Patch'. The plotting and twists are creative and non-stop, and his characters are completely alive and ones you care about -- though not always favorably. Moe Prager's empathy with some of the biggest losers is offset by his disdain for many of the other respectable and powerful. Moe himself is one the reader really comes to care about, and I can't wait for his next appearance. This fourth entry in the Moe Prager series is outstanding, dark and gritty and everything one could hope for from a crime novel. There are numerous references to plots of the previous three in the series, but that shouldn't deter you from reading this as a starting point. I'll be surprised if there's a better crime novel this year. Reed Farrel Coleman is as good as it gets! We'll be hearing a lot more from him.
