Well, Gosh!
4 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Maybe there's something wrong with me (many people would wholeheartedly agree), but I liked Les' newest book. It didn't tax my brain and I read it over one weekend. Milan Jacovich has become like an old pair of shoes--the one's you keep going back to when another pair beats up your feet and you're dying for something familiar and comfortable. There's no stomach-churning gore, the sex is so-so, and the plots aren't revealed in the first few pages. Les enjoys writing mysteries and making people think. As long as he keeps writing, I'll keep reading his books.

Cleveland PI novelist back again
22 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
Les Roberts has really put Cleveland on the map over the years with his fine novels. This book maintains that tradition, and Milan remains one of the more unique characters in private eye fiction. Pick this one up if you've ever been to Cleveland or if you enjoy a classic private eye tale. Roberts is a writer to be followed closely.

Milan Goes Irish
15 Oct 2002
Format:Hardcover
This is the 13th book in the Milan Jacovich series, which is set in Cleveland and once again showcases the city to its best advantage while Milan does his investigative work. Milan is a middle-aged, clear-thinking, single and sensible private investigator who always seems to get things done with a minimum of fuss.
Although theres a minimum of fuss, theres still plenty to enjoy about this latest book in the series. Milan explores the unfamiliar territory of Irish bars when hired to track down a conman posing as an Irishman who is new to the country, He preys on Irish ex-pats, taking them into his confidence before disappearing with a modest haul. He oversteps the mark when his prey is Judge Maureen Hartigan and she demands a chance at a shot of revenge, using Milan to find him. Things become a bit more complicated when it is revealed that the judge hasnt been completely forthright about what was stolen. When Milan works out what some of the items were, their significance changes the tone of his investigation completely.
This is another enjoyable private investigator story, which I would term as semi-hardboiled. Its not going to offend any sensibilities with Milan remaining a gentleman throughout the entire case. As its part of a series, I would recommend that a couple of the earlier books could be read to give you a bit of an insight into Milan and the other regular characters.
