Serendipity Dahlquist is a headstrong roller-blading teenager living in LA who has lost her dog. She asks private investigator Leo Bloodworth to help her find the missing pet. In what proves to have been a moment of madness, Bloodworth agrees to take on the case, unleashing an appalling--but also extremely entertaining--series of extremely homicidal events.

Sleeping Dog remains, almost 40 years after its publication, one of the most wonderful crime debuts: by turns charming, hilarious and pathological, Lochte's novel is a great celebration of everything that is most deplorable and hair-raising about California in the 1980s.

This novel is from 1985 and you get two narrators to take you through a typically noir ish Californian tale of kidnapping, extortion, organised crime, a mercifully brief section on illicit dog fights, and private eyes. One narrator is a Marlowe-esque private eye, the other is a precocious teenage girl - recounting the same story from 2 perspectives. Their relationship gradually develops and as it does, the twin narration clicks. The performances are great and this really works as an audiobook. If you like Marlowe, give this a try.

Great modern hard-boiled detective fiction with a twist

I wanted to like this. It is at best a cute idea. A smart ten year old girl and a ‘hard-boiled’ private detective. It’s ok but for me there is no magic. No doubt aficionados of the genre will recognise clever parallels and such. But without magic it’s an empty enough exercise. Well intentioned, but like a buzzing in the ears after a while. I’d recommend you skip this one. Sorry.

We’ll enough read and an ok idea but not great
