Hello, all.
I like Crais as well.
Elvis and Joe are clearly cut from the same cloth as Spenser
and Hawk. On the whole I'd say Elvis's wit is more
in-your-face than Spenser's. Cole seems to be the 90s preppie
P.I. to Spenser's wily veteran.
Crais comes into
his own with L.A. REQIUEM. While I wouldn't consider the
first seven Coles hardboiled, REQIUEM certainly is, giving
Crais the scope to really explore what separates his dynamic
duo from the rest.
For newcomers to
Crais, I'd recommend reading the books in order. This is a
good way to build to the climax of L.A. REQUIEM.
