David: I agree with your analysis. The confession parts of
the book are fascinating, but pull the book in a direction
away from the type of fiction normally discussed here. That
is balanced with the detective's story, which is certainly
more in the nature of noir. The two make a unique balance,
and the book held my attention throughout. As historicals are
hot, I would think this book would have made a bigger splash,
and that winning the award would have drawn attention to it.
It certainly deserves a wider readership. Best, GWN
