Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What do you get when you mix Elmore Leonard with Agatha Christie and add a dash of Tolstoy? "Reluctant Dick," is as enjoyable a mystery as you will find on any bookshelf. Richard Sherlock, Chicago detective, works at raising two feisty daughters while his ex-wife continues to try to pick his pocket for more child support during his investigation of the murder of Alvin J. Augustus, seedy financier. Stevens proves Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" axiom that "every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way," while moving the plot forward with sparkling dialogue and a wry sense of humor. Sherlock is nothing if not dogged, and resolves the murder amidst a cast of characters which would do Leonard justice. The wrap-up? A terrific Christie whodunit, unraveling the motives (everyone has one)...and the murder.
Will we see Sherlock again? Only Stevens knows...another mystery.
