4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but..., 1 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Excellently written. Great dialogue, adequate characterizations, but frankly, the motivations of some of the characters, particularly the alcoholic author, Trahearne, make little sense. Does he love his wife or doesn't he? Does he want her back or does he want her gone? In the end, the sad demise of the main character is totally gratuitous. She was already leaving and that was tragic enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion Crumley's best.., 17 April 1998
By A Customer
There are only 5-10 books I rate 10 and this is one. Crumley's characters are real, not cardboard cutouts, they are rough hewn. The plot twists in this book are simply amazing. I was very angry at some of the characters at the end but, Crumley deals with that too. Simply outstanding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic detective novel, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
The Last Good Kiss starts off slowly with a mildly interesting task for our hero, but soon the novel spills over into a booze-soaked road novel with intrigue, seduction and double-crosses. A must on any bookshelf.

C.W. Sughrue is not politically correct, not worried about offending anyone's sensitive nature. No pretense at a morality tale here. C.W. Read more

Excellent and highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book.
And it is a genre that I don't usually read. A pulp fiction (not the movie, the style) style book with substance.

Aside from having the best opening sentence of any hard-boiled mystery, The Last Good Kiss is a classic mystery. Read more
