The Bloody Moonlight

I didn't know there was another book with these characters, taking place before this one. Our narrator is a young guy who has been hired at the recommendation of his uncle as a detective. His first assignment is to evaluate an invention that is, apparently, picking up signals from Jupiter. While looking into this, south of Chicago, he literally stumbles on a murder, and is suspect of course. Lots of events, including the narrator making a pass at the Sheriff's wife, thinking it was his daughter. Brown's always fun, but the outlandishness of the Jupiter signal, and a bit about werewolves brought it down for me.

An enjoyable little murder mystery. I would read more of this series, if I could get them.

Un agréable petit roman policier du sympathique Brown, parfois plus inspiré.
