3.0

Set in 1950s era Greenwich Village, Plunkett and O'Nelligan are hired to investigate the true reason for the apparent suicide of Lorraine Cobble, a song collector. Lorraine is not a nice person and the motives for murder are plenty. I found it interesting to read about the PIs unraveling the intertwined lives of the Italian night club owner, the loud Irish brothers, the acerbic ghost song singer and the 105-year-old Civil War Drummer boy.

While well-written, I did not find this book to be a page turner. But I would back-track to read The Seance Society.
