Goodreads review by Sheryl on January 06, 2017

Not the best Andrew Klavan I've read, but I generally enjoyed it. I was expecting straight up noir -- which to my mind means even the good guys are going to be morally ambiguous, and most people are living lives of quiet desperation. While most of the characters in this book fit that type, for whate......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy on October 12, 2017

This is a solid character driven detective novel. A lot of the story revolves around Jim Bishop, a man's man, who women can;t help but falling for. He is not a sympathetic character by any means, but his no bullshit attitude really drive his part of the plot. Weiss, a sad man but a good guy is much......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on December 26, 2011

This is the third book I've read by Andrew Klavan and would probably fit in the middle as to "how much I liked it". This is another book that showcases the shortcomings of our rating system here.

Quotes

“Fans of hard-boiled detectives that make Spade and Marlow look like wimps will enjoy Dynamite Road.” TheBestReviews.com

“Klavan’s riveting blend of mystery, wiseass attitude, and old-fashioned moralizing makes for a wild ride.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Many authors try to be overly dramatic, but not Klavan. His pace is perfect, and his reading smooth. Klavan particularly excels with his portrayals of investigator Jim Bishop, who not only finds himself in the middle of the action, but also appears to fall for Kathleen Wannamaker, whose husband becomes ‘expendable’ when Bishop enters the scene.” AudioFile

“Filled with characters straight out of a 1950s potboiler, this rip-roarin’ story is tailor-made for hard-boiled fans with a soft spot for the pulp masters.” Booklist
