4.0

Degrees of Clarity is a noir novella with all the necessary ingredients. You've got theft, double-crossing, soul-searching, shady deals, standoffs, and, of course, a pinch of sex for added spice, thank you very much. The plot unfurls at just the right pace (which is the advantage of the novella over the novel) and keeps the reader on edge. An unexpected twist or surprise probably would have earned this tale another star from me, but, on the other hand, that could have ended up making it too contrived. If you like stylish noir stories, Deborah Sheldon is your "dame".
