The Barbary Dogs (Max Bravo) ハードカバー – 2011/11/8
購入オプションとあわせ買い
Opera singer extraordinaire Max Bravo is back in this sequel to THE DOG PARK CLUB that explores both mysterious disappearances and misleading appearances.
Max Bravo is ready for some rest and relaxation. But when an old friend takes a leap off the Golden Gate Bridge, Max realizes that rest and relaxation simply aren't in the cards. The jumper, Frank Kelly, was a failed writer and an accomplished hothead. Max acquires Frank's journal, and is soon following the dead man through a foggy landscape of artistic manias and romantic intrigues. Along the way, he encounters a motley crew of crackpots, bohemians, and wily ghosts that refuse to be buried in San Francisco's Barbary Coast past. Fans of quirky, literary mysteries will love this second dose of Max Bravo and his outrageous adventures.

Here are the good points for this book: This is well written, with excellent descriptions of the City (San Francisco), some interesting characters - esp. the main character Max Bravo who is entertaining and who has what I find to be an engaging snarkiness that makes me smile. I enjoyed the book for its setting and descriptions mostly, secondly for the mildly amusing characters and clever writing. SF is a haven for "individualists" so i was willing to go along with the oddball nature of many of the characters. Because I have read so much treacle in free books and romance (most free books are romances), I very much appreciated an intelligent writer who assumes she is writing for intelligent readers.
Here are the not so good points: It's a ghost story (not a big favorite for me). There are characters whose purpose is never clear - some who add nothing to the plot and some who are so under-developed you have to wonder what the point was of their presence. As in her previous book, the plot starts out fairly strong but tends to wander later in the book. Sometimes the characters do things that seem unlikely and/or out of character. But, hey, it's fiction, not a biography.
Still, overall, I give this book & author a thumbs up - if only for the rich description of one of my favorite places.
