Death Comes Too Late - Review


I don't usually do book reviews, because it's rare that I can just rave about something.

This is one of those times.

Death Comes Too Late https://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Comes-Too-Late-Crime/dp/1803366265 is a collection of short stories by Charles Ardai.

It's in the Hard Case Crime imprint, which he co-founded in 2004 or so and has since published 167 novels. All of which are in the detective-story manner of the 1940's and 50's, which many informed commentators regard as a pearl amongst literary styles. It's a page turner in the old manner, and the stories, the mood, are spot-on.

Read and enjoy.
