4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting approach. 9 Jun 2012
By E. Meyer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I was given a copy of this short story by the author to review. It is a somewhat interesting take on the classic noir or "hard-boiled" detective genre. It is definitely not your regular Spillane or Chandler story, as the whole (albeit short) tale follows the detective doing one thing. There are some excellent descriptions and characterizations here, but don't expect over-the-top Hammer action; This emphasizes another aspect of classic noir.

The only problems with this story were some spelling and grammar problems and the rather forced inclusion of the "post meridiem" expression. No detective, or person for that matter, that I've ever read or known would say something akin to "between seven post meridiem and two ante meridiem" in describing a time period as a part of a casual conversation or thought. Other than those, it was an interesting little tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it! 10 Jan 2012
By Janus Gangi -Stolen Moments - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Whenever I think of a detective story Mickey Spillane comes to mind. I guess in American culture there are still some hard-fast icons. And so visions of Mike Hammer danced in my head as I started reading this story. But I was surprised. This was a brief spotlight on a man's musings about his somewhat mundane life. It was set in the 1940's and it is very true to the flavor of the that time set. It was a short adventure in time travel. I enjoyed it as it took me away to another place and time as it gave me a brief window into mindset of that period.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pale Moonlight 26 Mar 2012
By Star @ The Bibliophilic Book Blog - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Pale Moonlight is a 28-page (on my Nook) novella starring not-so-special Agent Jack Kelly. He's undercover on a mission from J. Edgar himself, or Skirty Hoovie as Jack called him. He has a boring everyday life for his cover; however every night at 7:30pm he longs to see if the Blondie Express will ever stop at his station. He obsesses over this to no end and even knowing it's futile, he'll keep going back at the same time every night...

Pale Moonlight is an interesting take on rebellion, monotony, and obsession. Sent on an undercover mission after dissing the head of the FBI, Jack Kelly has found something worth living for - the Blondie Express which passes by him at 7:30pm every night. He'd love to take a ride on that train, but I think he realizes he loves the illusion more to ever shatter it by interacting. A neat noir piece, Pale Moonlight is as captivating as the Blondie Express.
