New Mystery Reader Reviews Sick Like That

For a guy from Jersey, I seem to be able to get a pretty good Brooklyn voice in my written work, or so I’m told.

This is a take on the old-fashioned noir that will no doubt engage readers of every genre.  His ability to recreate realistic Brooklynese dialogue, his depictions of the seedier sides of NYC and its outskirts, and his creation of two of the most kick-ass females to come along in fiction in awhile will have fans clamoring for more.  And if you’re like me, you’ll be asking yourself, “Really, a man wrote this?” because Green is a man who seems to get the whole female psyche in a way that’s almost supernatural.  If not for the crazy veer that results in a Bruce Willis type of movie ending, this book would be just about perfect.  As it is, though, it’s close enough to make this one of the better reads this year.
