Over at his blog The Nerd of Noir reviews Cottonwood by Scott Phillips as a part of his Catching Up series where he reviews older crime/noir/hardboiled novels.
Scott Phillips is a writer that you have to trust. When you crack one of his books, he only gives you hints as to what the story is going to be about. You can't read thirty pages and then be able to guess what the structure of the novel is going to be. Phillips is too sneaky for that, too confident that he can keep you reading without laying all his cards out on the table a few minutes into the game.
The Nerd's language, much like the crime fiction he loves, can be coarse but the fiction he writes about is always worth checking out.
