The Lion

Great noir

Great noir

1950s. A stunning blonde walks into a P.I.’s office. No need to know more to know what you are gonna get. This an old-school novel of P.I. + femme fatale + he doesn’t know what the hell he’s getting into. Black has been compared to Chandler which is probably the best compliment a noir writer can get but also a double-edged sword for those expecting the same level of greatness from the “pupil”. Because I do everything backwards, I’ve read this first. And it has been a mesmerizing read. The prose flows throughout the book. On paper, Marlowe doesn’t seem like a real person who would exist in reality but Black made me believe I could run into him if I were to hire a private detective. And you can’t help but sympathize with the fellow, unlike other P.I.s I’ve read. You know the black eyed blonde is hiding information and you know Marlowe is not gonna be able to resist her and as as result, gonna get himself in a bunch of trouble with some shady individuals. The Black Eyed Blonde is a novel that looks noir (that beautiful cover) and reads noir. A delight to the senses. Fans of the genre, don’t miss out on this one.
