[Kajori Sheryl Paul]

This seems like an interesting detective story. Sonny really drew my interest.
Also, a sense of humour always makes a great read.

Thank you for the awesome review as always.

[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "They Do That for the Dead" by Alan M. Blank.]
There were some unexpected twists and a satisfying flourish at the end. My only criticism is that I found some of the clues to be rather obvious. I spent much of the book yelling the identity of the attacker and howling the location of the ill-gotten gains. Having said that, it’s not terribly important as there are plenty of other strings to this bow. Some crime books are like a plane journey where it’s simply a race to get to the destination. Blank’s books are more of a fairground ride where the best bit is in the middle where you loop the loop and do a face-plant into your ice cream. When you step off at the end, you immediately want to buy another ticket so you can get back on again.

It is funny how you described this crime book as a ride on a fairground. I did not know the meaning of "gumshoe" until I looked it up! I also would not have noticed the misspelled word, "slight of hand" and learned that it should be "sleight of hand," so thanks for your insights. The book sounds like it could be worth reading.
