Gotta Read!!.......2007-07-07

I love all the alphabet books, but even better was having three in one!
I am currently reading K is for Killer, each one gets better and better!

Wonderful, I love Kinsey.......2007-06-14

I have read almost all of Grafton's books, I still have a few that I have missed, she is ingenious, every single novel is original. The reading is easy, I can devour a book in one to two days, and then I am looking around for another. I have just finished J,K,L,M, am working on N, and am now looking for the ones in between that I have missed.

I loved them all.......2007-06-03

I've read the whole series and can't wait for the next one to come out.

"G" is for Gumshoe.......2007-05-14

This novel by Sue Grafton is very light hearted and fun to read. Reading a novel about Kinsey Millhone is addictive! I can't put it down.

Splendid.......2006-11-11

Sue Grafton's writing is catchy and her characterization is superb. I don't want to regurgitate what must be countless remarks regarding how great it is to have a believable strong female character, but suffice to say I want to be Kinsey Milhoune when I grow up.

The collection of three is a lot more convenient for someone who plows through books like I do. I don't have access to a bookstore, so Amazon is my primary source of books right now. This way I can order the collection and take the time to move through three books while placing the next on order and not have to worry about running out of reading material or dealing with numerous paperbacks taking up space. Also, even though you can really pick up the books at any time throughout the series, you still get a better sense of continuity this way.

Book Description

It is 1946, and a stunned Europe is beginning its slow recovery from the ravages of World War II. Adam Miller has come to Venice to visit his widowed mother and try to forget the horrors he has witnessed as a U.S. Army war crimes investigator in Germany. Nothing has changed in Venice-not the beautiful palazzi, not the violins at Florian's, not the shifting water that makes the city, untouched by bombs, still seem a dream. But when Adam falls in love with Claudia, a Jewish woman scarred by her devastating experiences during the war, he is forced to confront another Venice, a city still at war with itself, haunted by atrocities it would rather forget. Everyone, he discovers, has been compromised by the Occupation--the international set drinking at Harry's, the police who kept order for the Germans, and most of all Gianni Maglione, the suave and enigmatic Venetian who happens to be his mother's new suitor. And when, finally, the troubled past erupts in violent murder, Adam finds himself at the center of a web of deception, intrigue, and unexpected moral dilemmas. When is murder acceptable? What are the limits of guilt? How much is someone willing to pay for a perfect alibi? "If you like historical novels with hefty shots of sex, obsession and death, Alibi is your book of the year....There are touches of le Carr and Graham Greene, but Kanon is too good to ape another writer. He pays homage to Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, with his obsessive characters and oppressive atmosphere, but Kanon's obsession in Venice is more destructive, appropriate to a later, more violent age." -- The Globe and Mail "A great thriller, filled with superb details of a weary city amid the accusations and denials that the end of war always brings." - The Hamilton Spectator Set against the magical, but sinister, backdrop of Venice, Kanon has fashioned another spectacular historical thriller. - The Toronto Sun With skilful prose, Kanon creates the historical atmosphere of post-war Venice and he evokes the elegant charm of the city with its picturesque maze of canals. He presents credible and intimate love scenes[and] Kanon does a good job of revealing how the narrator is caught by his internal conflict and how he has to deal with his own demons. - The Edmonton Journal

Should have been better (story & writing: 2 stars, editing: 0 stars).......2007-07-09

One would expect a former "book publishing executive" to have the editorial skill himself, or the ability to command it from someone else, to avoid the mistakes that permeate the text: incorrect forms of Italian words; inconsistent italicizing of Italian words and phrases; mistakes in punctuation; bottled mineral water in 1945 (and if it wasn't bottled--it's just "poured" by a waiter--how did the character know it was mineral water?).

Worse, however (by far), is the unlikable and unbelievable cast. The lovers behave with a startling lack of affection. Their love is mentioned occasionally (it seems to come and go), but their conversations and the way they treat each other--especially the way she treats him--conveys distrust, disinterest, even dislike. The hero is disdainful of his mother, no reason given. Of the other characters, both villains and good guys, only one, in the background for most of the book, is the least bit interesting.

This was my first Joseph Kanon novel; it didn't inspire me to read earlier ones.

Everyone is crooked.......2007-05-27

First off: This is an incredibly good book. Just click and buy it right now, you won't be disappointed.

Alibi is set in post war Venice - a city that never saw front line fighting, a jewel that appears on the surface to be untouched by the Nazis and the Fascists. Oh, but then just hang on for an incredibly good ride.

Everyone has something to hide. Everyone made their deals with the devil. Occupied Italy tainted everyone who strived to survive the war, and now the war is over, but the taint persists. The old scores need reckoning.

I will not spoil this excellent story. There is just too much in this book, and you know who most of the bad guys are. I'm not too sure there are many good guys. Just get it right now.

It is not romantic anymore.......2007-05-20

After World War II Venice was still beautiful. The narrator's mother, Grace Miller, had known Linda Porter, the composer's wife. Adam Miller traveled to Italy after spending time in Germany doing de-Nazification work. Bertie Howard helped Grace with furnishings. He gave parties. At one of them Adam meets Claudia Grassini, a camp survivor. Fortunately for her she had never left the country. At the time only foreigners were living well, the Italians were poor. It is difficult for Claudia to adjust to the postwar period. She is filled with hate.

Adam worries that his mother is going to marry someone, Gianni, who wants her money. Claudia claims that Gianni murdered her father. Gianni and Claudia's father had known each other at medical school. When the Germans came to a hospital where Gianni worked, he pointed out Claudia's father to them. Moving the very sick man resulted in his death. Claudia's people had lived in the ghetto until the time of Napoleon. Claudia's father had believed he would be safe from the round-ups of the Jews in the hospital. Regrettably his classmate Gianni had idenitified him. Gianni claimed he reported him because he was already dying and that he saved the life of a partisan. Later Adam speaks with someone who knows all about the partisans and is in a position to cast doubt on Gianni's story.

There is a spot of disturbance and then Adam and Claudia attend a party given by Mimi, Celia de Betancourt. An Inspector Cavallini is there, too. Subsequently Mimi's ball is given a two-page spread in the newspaper. The fact that Gianni is missing is investigated.

Kanon clearly has the ability to create a murky atmosphere laced with complex ethical issues. The contrast of the Americans' delight in the Italian scene and the abject poverty of the Italians, near starvation, causes the sensitive reader to shudder. The American narrator comes to wonder whether he has misjudged Gianni and a host of other characters in the novel. This work is the sort of ground raked over in SOPHIE'S CHOICE by William Styron. World War II circumstances created many ambiguities of behavior.

Outstanding.......2007-01-18

Kanon does it again. Great story woven into historical framework. Great stuff.

Wait for the movie.......2006-12-10

Now that the Good German has been filmed with Clooney and Blanchett, I guess the Alibi has a good chance to be next.
The book, by setting the plot in Venice, enters Henry James and Patricia Highsmith territory, and does so in a very appealing way, for some time at least. Even the plot itself has strong Highsmithian elements, but, alas, mixes them up with too much else.
American mother and son meet conflicting love interests in Venice after WWII and get dragged into a local revenche drama between collaborators, partizans, Jews, which turns quite ugly and quite confusing.
There are strong parts in the story, and a good script writer should be able to come up with the blueprint for an interesting movie.
Frankly speaking, I gave up after 2/3 of the book. Too many twists and turns, too few injections of fuel into the low flame of suspense. Pity, the love story starts promising, then gets lost somewhere. The mystery element remains too theoretical and complex. The "Highsmithian" parts, i.e. the first killing and the initial phases of the investigation, are the best parts of the book, but they somehow disappear into the wilderness of a broader story.
Not entirely pleasing.

The Deep Blue Alibi: A Solomon vs. Lord Novel.......2007-07-14

The Deep Blue Alibi is the sequel to Solomon vs. Lord. In the first book readers met Victoria Lord, an uptight by the book kind of lawyer, who through a series of hilarious twists and bizarre turns finds herself partnered with Steve Solomon, another lawyer who plays by his own rules, to defend a murder case. As the team have almost no evidence, they have to be rather creative in their defence.

In this book, Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord are preparing for another very difficult murder case. In this case, there seems to be more potential murder suspects and too many leaps of faith for the team's comfort. Worse yet, one of these potential suspects is one of Victoria's old flames.

I absolutely loved Solomon vs. Lord. The book was interwoven with various sub-stories and subplots; the characters were clever with amazing chemistry; and the ridiculous events surrounding the actual murder trial were hilarious because they were so realistic. I didn't really expect that the sequel could stand up to my high expectations after the first book yet I actually think I enjoyed The Deep Blue Alibi more that the original book. I think that in already knowing the characters, the depth of their sarcasm, wit, and ability to always get them into strange situations added even greater depth and enjoyment to the story. It's also kind of nice to see that happily ever after never quite looks like what you expected.

Boom!! 2 great books in a row!!.......2007-07-13

Almost, but not quite as good as the first book. But it would be hard to compete with the first one because everything is new and exciting and we are getting to know the characters, etc. But this 2nd story is filled with hilarious lines, and maintains an excellent plot with suspense and emotion.

He's not going to win any literary prizes with these, but I hope he's making a nice living. Each is a fun read. Funny is hard.

If the facts don't fit the law- bend the facts.......2007-06-03

This novel has been compared to John Grisham and Carl Hiaasen, but actually doesn't quite meet the standard of either of the two gentlemen. Truth be told, it ends a lot better than Grisham's latest novels, but the legal part of the story is a pale comparison, and although humor is used extensively, it lacks the edge of Hiaasen and is somewhat repetitive.

The legal team of Solomon (Steve) and Lord (Victoria) are all at sea when a runaway powerboat almost runs them over. It turns out that one of the occupants has a spear sticking out of his chest, and the other is a family friend of Victoria's and their next client. The case takes an environmental twist, not because of the greenbacks blowing across the lobster strewn beach, but due to their client's ambitious plan to build a floating casino on top of a coral reef.

There are several people with a vested interest in getting the casino built, and even more who think the plan should be scuttled and sunk, but the stakes get even higher when someone tries to scare the antiheroes off the case. Red herrings swim through the pages when secrets from the past are unearthed, old flames still carry torches, and meetings are conducted at an exclusive club for the rich and toned, but the biggest obstacle the duo face is their inability to get along.

That's it in a nutshell, ignoring the product placements for Manolo Blahnik, Speedo and the music of Jimmy Buffett. The plot is stretched to breaking point, and you get the impression that hidden within this 467 page novel is a 200 page novella struggling to make a name for itself. Overblown, yet not without its flashes of brilliance, this one is at the heavy end of light reading.

Rated: 3.5 stars

Duet Voices. Securing the Solitaire........2007-02-21

I continue to be intrigued by the personality variances in the Archy character, given through the separate voice clarity of Lawrence Sanders and Vincent Lardo. That entrancement is enhanced by my professional interest (I've been a parapsychologist since 1979) in the paranormal aspects of the author-pair situation, and as applied by Lardo to the plots in each of his novels. How could I not continue to be hooked to this series, when those fascinations are added to Lardo's ability to weave complex plots (this one around an unpublished manuscript, "Answered Prayers" by Truman Capote), and to seamlessly incorporate his personal knowledge of lifestyles of the very, very wealthy.

Memories of Archy-1's sensitive, sensual, compassionate personality continue to contrast the testosterone richness of Archy-2's controlling, sometimes angry impatience ... which is appealing in its own way... controlling, organizing, director types possessing ambitious, rampant masculinity (in both sexes) accomplish/finish the essentials for keeping the world's motors running. While noticeably missing the responsive Archy-1, I'm thankful for the opportunity to read the pushier Archy-2, with the push evidenced by more than the fact that he chooses to take on cases only after expressions of critical resistance, accompanied by warnings to himself, of disaster brewing in games of potential clients. I see why Lardo initiated Archy's new style of interviewing clients who come directly to him, rather than through Prescott McNally, Archy's employer/father, as Sanders' Archy had done through most of Sanders' first 7 novels (I'm looking forward to rereading the series at some point, to confirm or alter for myself, conclusions I've drawn about the differences between Archy 1 & 2).

Concurrent with the ongoing paranormal themes in Lardo's continuance, Archy-2 has dubbed ALIBI's case, "A Voice from the Grave" (couldn't help but wonder if Lardo had a different title in mind for ALIBI). And, what's up with Lardo mentioning "Siggy" (Sigmund Freud) in a plot featuring an ugly murdered guy (a drug addict and overall looser) named Lawrence Swensen? What's up Doc?

My interest surged during the interview scene between Archy and Tyler Beaumont (descendant of presidents, etc.). I was impressed with the exposure of Lardo's depth of understanding of (in stereotype and in reality) the psychological angst and lifestyles of the richest-of-the-rich, the oldest-of-the-oldest-families. To me, it's clear that this was the subculture about which Vincent had preferred to write, and his enhancement of it in ALIBI increased my curiosity about Lardo's Hamptons novels. (See his web site; address included in my McNally Listmania). What had put me off those novels was their feeling of heavy investment in socio-political comment. Contrastingly, what had warmed me into the McNally series was Archy's lack of investment in socio-political comment, his gems of philosophical lightness contrasted to dips into moodiness.

I've lived (comfortably self-supporting) at a poverty level of income most of my life; yet I've not been able to sustain (at least not beyond a few years in college) critical or disdainful anger toward other economic, ethnic, or socio-political subcultures. I've not been able to place and retain resources (emotional as well as financial, such as they aren't) into group Causes, either against the "fortunate" or for the "not fortunate." Maybe that is why I enjoy Robert B. Parker's Spenser series. (See my recent review of PALE KINGS AND PRINCES for a comment on Spenser's "CAUSE-less-ness"; note that Social Causes are different from personal causes driving rescues of individuals).

Another novel which dips insightfully into The Hamptons lifestyles is Cleo Coyle's MURDER MOST FROTHY. My review on that mystery seems to have magnetized itself to receipt of a huge collection of "No" votes. Am I supposed to harbor hatred for those who appear to be above me? I do not disdain differences; I'm either intrigued by them, or they become less visible as I warm to them.

Regarding those issues, in some ways I identify with Denver's Molly Brown, though I'll never achieve great wealth myself; I'd be thrilled to have my novels published professionally enough to give them a chance to reach their earned level of success, in which case I won't be giving away my millions; I'll be spending the heck out of them.

Whatever. This life is indeed strangely ironic at times; the works of fiction I've found which best expose the ironies of it are Ayn Rand's two novels, Parker's Spenser series (if read in order), and the Archy McNally series. The contrasts in Lardo and Sanders, as they live and work through Archy, offer a wealth of life-and-character studies.

In closing, I'll slither to the edge of a reviewer's limb, wearing my parapsychologist's hat (black, cone-shaped) and wax philosophically about personality needs to control, which I believe are healthy, possibly essential, at certain times, yet a time comes during which...

(Yes, since I own a magic broom, being on the edge of a limb ... or cliff ... isn't a huge risk!)

As a person arrives at the final chapter in life, especially if that chapter stretches over a few years instead of coming to fruition in moments or months, that person's needs to control (literally everything) gradually become less important, less felt, until the person reaches a healing inner peace, an ability to effortlessly enjoy moments, without losing the morrow of life, in fact gaining it by lack of attempts to possess it.

I believe Sanders was within that type of extended final chapter when he wrote this series; and the letting go of compulsions to control (a freeing of spirit which I believe most of us crave at the level of spirit) impregnated his products. From my possibly warped perspective, Lardo was not at that type of Final Chapter when he wrote his Archy novels. Possibly that is one of the reasons for the difference between Archy 1 & 2 ... in addition to the personality variances between Larry and Vince?

Is Death, then, the Mother of Beauty (and Beauty Peace)?

A soothing melancholy radiated from the last page of ALIBI, giving the feeling of looking up into a clear night sky, of transporting oneself for a moment into the twinkling of stars.

As noted here and in my other reviews of McNally novels, I'm thankful for the opportunity to read this type of series, to see the contrasts between its authors' "driving" of its characters.

What a Gift from "The Universe."

Linda Shelnutt

Cute, cute, cute, in a stupid... way.......2004-02-19

I have read every book in the Archy McNally series, and I've enjoyed each of them. I remain awed by how seamlessly author Vincent Lardo took over a series started by another writer, in this case, the late Lawrence Sanders. So it is with regret that I don't feel that McNALLY'S ALIBI deserves my customary five-stars, though it certainly earns four.

There is a line in a Jacques Brel song that talks about how a character is "cute, cute, cute, in a stupid-assed way." Well, sadly, this is the point to which Archy McNally, the protagonist of this series, seems to be evolving.

I long have suspected that this Archy was based, at least in part, on Archie Goodwin of the NERO WOLFE mysteries. Yet Archie Goodwin always was suave and elegant, like Cary Grant or James Bond. Never in this series has Archy McNally been suave and elegant; he actually was kind of fey from the very first book. Since that first book was published, a new word has been coined, "metrosexual," referring to straight men who enjoy pleasures usually perceived as gay, such as facials and manicures. Not James Bond but more Niles Crane, the brother on the television series FRASIER. Well, though Archy definitely is a metrosexual, the problem is that he is starting to sound more deranged than fey.

This is pity, because the plot in McNALLY'S ALIBI is as good as any in the series, and the denouement perhaps even more clever than usual.

As someone who has spent a fair amount of time in Palm Beach myself, I also would like to see a bit more local color in these stories.

The McNALLY books all remain favorites of mine, but I do hope that the author and his editor can reel Archy back in so that he seems a little more realistic.

Lousy........2004-01-27

This entry in the McNally Saga is a bit of a let-down -- especially coming right after Lardo's "McNally's Dilemma" which is probably the all time best McNally novel. In "McNally's Alibi" we get to see Archy take leave of his senses. The only time he seems to do anything right is in trying to pick up Officer Georgy O'Hara, which he does quite nicely. I agree with those who think Connie Garcea needs to take a hike. That one has outlived her welcome. It is time Archy got a new love interest.

Hopefully what we saw in this novel won't happen again.

If you really must read this book then do so. But borrow it from the local library instead of buying it and spend your money on something more worthy of your attention.

Mediocre, but pleasant.......2003-12-30

Lawrence Sanders fans will note Mr Lardo does an excellent job of imitating Sanders' style, but somehow the story is less than the standard McNally tale. The introduction of a new love interest in policewoman Georgi girl is good. The main storyline is difficult to follow at times, and the added sub-story with Ty Beaumont is an unnecessary distraction which doesn't feel right. Overall, one never knows, do one?

Answered Prayers.......2003-09-12

Archy NcNally, Discret Inquirer, goes from the search of Truman Capotes alleged missing manuscript "Unanswered Prayers", on behalf of a collector of salacious transcripts to being a suspect in a murder at a seedy motel. The characters that claim ownership of this transcript are all, according to each other, not to be trusted.

As this case deepens, Archy can think only of the beautiful, green-eyed, blond State Tropper Georgia O'Hara who suspects him of murder!

Book Description

In The Art of Alibi, Jonathan Grossman reconstructs the relation of the novel to nineteenth-century law courts. During the Romantic era, courthouses and trial scenes frequently found their way into the plots of English novels. As Grossman states, "by the Victorian period, these scenes represented a powerful intersection of narrative form with a complementary and competing structure for storytelling." He argues that the courts, newly fashioned as a site in which to orchestrate voices and reconstruct stories, arose as a cultural presence influencing the shape of the English novel.

Weaving examinations of novels such as William Godwin's Caleb Williams, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Charles Dickens's The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, along with a reading of the new Royal Courts of Justice, Grossman charts the exciting changes occurring within the novel, especially crime fiction, that preceded and led to the invention of the detective mystery in the 1840s.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent and Imaginative.......2003-12-16

This fascinating book looks at the relationship between the trial narratives of criminal defendants and their literary counterparts from the late eighteenth century through the mid nineteenth century. Grossman discusses a number of well-known British novelists including Gaskell, Dickens, and Godwin, along with some lesser-known writers. Unlike much 'law and literature' research, Grossman has thought carefully about both areas, and his readings are fascinating and nuanced. He also makes some interesting observations about the rise of the detective novel in 19th century England.
