RARA-AVIS: Re: Brandstetter

Mark Sullivan (ANONYMEINC@webtv.net)
Sun, 23 Aug 1998 10:13:11 -0400 (EDT) Kevin Smith is right about the emotional flatness of the writing. That
was one of the first things that struck me about, and got me hooked on,
the Brandstetter series. In it, Hanson had such a distinctive
zero-degree style. I was also struck by the sense of melancholy that
hangs over the books, especially the first few as Dave adjusts to the
death of his lover (I am such a sucker for a depressed private eye).
Also agree that the toxic waste dumping book was one of the best in the
series. I really enjoyed that series, I may have to go back and re-read
a few.
