I wasn’t in the mood to read anything, especially something of novel length. But, being as I’ve been in a funk for the past couple of weeks, I figured it was about time to get back to my love of reading. I also knew that if anyone could provide a good short story, Bobby Underwood could. He didn’t let me down.
This romantic/noir is 41 pages of pure reading delight. As in his other work, Underwood is a master of taking the reader with his well-developed characters (even in a short story) to exotic locales that come alive through his vivid descriptions. The romance, so finely interwoven within the feeling of the noir of yesteryear, gives this story a life and genre all its own.
I loved it! ( )
