Marla McDonnell

Clean Slate: Chicago Noir, Book 3

Marla McDonnell is a private eye in 1954 but that is not the most difficult challenge she faces. She is also a woman of color. And she must face down the one that murdered her partner and find out why every mobster in town is being systematically bumped off.

Very interesting take on the 1950s genre

A very exciting and often funny story. It follows from the other noir books without dwelling on the predecessor to much. it stands alone revolving around a female Pi in the fifties. It is very entertaining. however I would have liked to hear the narrator move her voice around about to fit the characters but over all it is a fun listen.
