Mystery Girl: A Novel
In Mystery Girl, Sam Kronberg's wife leaves him because he has no job. He writes books that no one would want to read. In an attempt to get her back, he takes a job as an assistant to a detective. This takes him on a crazy journey to find out about the woman he initially followed, the slept with and watched commit suicide. It turns out, this woman was the love interest of Sam's boss, Solar Lonsky. I was following the story pretty well up to that point, but then I started to get bored with the story.I like a good mystery and I was hoping for this book to be a good one. The book did drag in places and was a bit on the dull side. I found myself skimming in places. I also really couldn't connect with any of the characters. I did like the solution to the mystery, it just took too long to get there. The book had a film noir feel to me. I think fans of this type of book will devour it.
