Goodreads review by Greg on November 14, 2011

This is going to be a short-ish review. A kind of sentimental novel set in post 9/11 gentrified New York. I haven't had the best experiences with reading Mickey Spillane in the past, his writing generally doesn't do too much for me. This one was fine though, there were parts of it that were a little......more

Goodreads review by Kemper on March 18, 2009

A completely ridiculous plot, but this book was really a curtain call for Mickey Spillane so it's best just to read it as such.......more

Goodreads review by Ray on February 16, 2024

Finished my first Mickey Spillane. It was new to me and I wanted to see if I liked it. It was good, but I didn't love it. I liked some elements, but some of the tough guy vocabulary felt very dated and artificial. The plot felt well constructed and the writing was fine. I am not sure about more. May......more

Goodreads review by Cathy on August 10, 2012

It's Mickey Spillane's last book and I was ready for another trip down noir street with Dead Street. Didn't happen. Spillane died July 17, 2006, and this book which was almost completed, was published in 2007. His friend and confidant Max Allen Collins, prepared the manuscript for publication and com......more

Goodreads review by Joe on August 26, 2018

This one was a little weird... it felt like it should be set in the 60s, with a retired cop going back to investigate an old case from the mob. Then there was what almost felt like a side plot, but turned out to be the main story that sorta kinda involved Middle Eastern terrorists, but in such a gen......more

Quotes

“Tough-guy narrator Richard Ferrone finds Dead Street right up his alley. Ferrone seems to magnify Spillane’s words, presenting characters and circumstances in a pace, tone, and style uniquely fitting for each. Teaming up Spillane and Ferrone makes this Hard Case crime novel a fitting tribute to the lifelong body of work by this bestselling author.” AudioFile

“This is a more sentimental Spillane than readers might expect, but the women are still dolls, the bad guys are still louses, and the hero still packs a helluva punch (along with his trusty .45, natch). Spillane always said he wrote for his fans, not for the critics, but both should be pleased with this late addition to the writer's canon.” Publishers Weekly

“The many Spillane fans out there have a lot to look forward to.” Library Journal
