What we do

Ben reads a lot. Read a book review below. Cathy reads a lot too, but she's not so noisy about it. She likes mysteries, particularly of the Agatha Christie variety.

A book review from Ben

Call Girls for Murder by John B. Ethan

The only example I've ever read of the "Industrial-Espionage-Noir" genre. The hero is a management consultant who takes a job with a drug company to figure out who's taking home the product. Sounds like an appalling theme for a book, but it actually comes off as well as might be hoped. The hero is rather Sam-Spadeish in his ability to cope with being knocked on the head and taken for rides, and you can't go wrong with a pretty girl for a corpse in this sort of melodrama. So those parts work out pretty well, but the doctor who infects himself with rabies to prove his drug works is a little too 19th-century for my taste. You keep expecting him to start cackling. "They thought that I was mad! Mad! But I shall prove them all wrong, hahahahaha!" Okay, it doesn't go quite that far. Some good points and some bad points; doesn't compare with Dashiell Hammett, but parts ring surprisingly true, so I imagine the author was writing quite a bit from experience. Definitely different.
