…I’m now about a third of the way through an audiobook of Dashiell Hammett’s 1929 hardboiled private-eye novel Red Harvest. The Continental Op solves a murder case and then resolves to clean up a crooked town. Pretty good stuff.

Finished it. Got a little confusing and more than a little bloody by the end, but I liked it.

Next up: another private-eye novel, although very different in setting and style, Robert B. Parker’s 1981 novel A Savage Place. Spenser is hired by an LA reporter to guard her and help with her investigation into labor racketeering in the film biz. Enjoyable so far.

Finished The Calculating Stars, by Mary Robinette Kowal. Interesting premise.

Now I’m reading Dawn, by Octavia E. Butler.

Have you read “Bridge of Birds” by Barry Hughart?

Many, many, many times and the two sequels as well.
