Just finished reading Blue Lonesome by Bill Pronzini (2014). This is a classic mystery story. Jim Messenger isn’t a detective. He’s a lonely guy in a dead-end job who takes an interest in a lonely woman who commits suicide. He wants to know why, which takes him from San Francisco to her hometown in the Nevada desert, where unsolved murders are the key to understanding what led this woman to take her own life. To solve the murders, he must confront the belligerent locals, who don’t want him snooping around.

This is a complex, entertaining mystery where key characters grow and change, which makes this a very satisfying read.

Happy reading!
