I haven't read Blue-Bottle Fly yet (haven't seen it in
paperback), but my favorite Sallis, by far, is the first Lew
Griffin, Long-Legged Fly. It is kind of four inter-related
short stories, four missing persons cases spread over a 40-50
year period. I was blown away by the writing and the
fractured, but solid structure. And the very good characters.
I've liked the other Lew Griffins very much and will
definitely pick up Blue Bottle when and if it ever comes out
in paper, but they are all far more traditional PI tales than
the amazing Long-Legged Fly.
