"It has been a year since Lastings Simmons reluctantly returned to his childhood home of Via Verde, California. Soon after his arrival, he gets broadsided with a letter of foreclosure on the house he recently inherited. To make matters worse for the young Jazz prodigy, he finds himself accosted by a barrage of questions that he is unable to answer in a rather violent interrogation by two surly detectives. It appears that he and the brother of his provocative tenant, January, are prime suspects in a kidnapping. Lastings is hell bent on clearing their names and, simultaneously, becoming January's salvation. Only to discover, January has demons of her own. Traipsing around them leads him down a path he is ill prepared to take.
Now, Lastings is about to find out that the path is embarking upon is one that he is completely unprepared for as a murder mystery becomes as intense as the California sun.
Blue Eyed Dog is a captivating sophomore novel by Los Angeles native, Christopher Taylor. A nod to fiction noir novelists, such as Raymond Chandler, James Elroy and Walter Mosley, Christopher weaves Southern California history into a murder mystery with Jazz as it’s sultry background."
First I want to thank to BookTasters and Christopher for this book!
I read this book in one set: pick up at 2pm and ended it at 5pm.
The pages turn easy as you follow Lastings and it took my complete investigator mood as soon as Brooke told that he will be more than happy to see Lasting losing his house.
Lastings is a special MC and you can't be mad about is lake of empathy/sympathy over the others. He will help who he think deserve it and if he is in a good mood and that make him very, very real.
At that point I was making a lot of questions and I didn't got disappointed to see answers (and that I was correct over 1 situation).
Looks like a great book!
