Remember enjoying this one when I read it in 1989.
Actually, it was very good, but it took a while and the main character didn't particularly have you rooting for him to start with. He was kind of a curmudgen, but then I guess it kind of goes with the job he has...insurance investigator. But then he became a sort of amateur sleuth when it became personal and he developed some hutzpah. I liked it.
YES YES YESthis is so cool. only mystery series i've read that takes place in my home town, i know the streets and some of the people Lupoff writes about. and v. well written.
Fast-paced and entertaining mystery.
Set in the SF Bay area, which I liked. Also politically askew for this part of the world, which I liked, even though my politics and Lupoff's don't jive. Other than that, forgettable. (In fact, I've already forgotten.) I think I should stop trying to like mysteries.
I remember liking this mystery novel by Lupoff, though I've lost most of the details in the intervening years. I thought most of the characters were quite realistic and likable, because... A somewhat unsympathetic insurance investigator gets caught up in the wild and wacky world of comics fandom, a topic that Lupoff knew well and that was surely quite close to his heart. It's probably rather badly dated now, but almost surely still a lot of fun. I should pull it down for a re-read.
