There's no shortage of Weiss guys in the Weiss & Weiss mysteries. Instead of the police, the wife of a missing man asks Yiddish detective Morris Weiss for help. He knows more than the cops about the gangland workings of the Lower East Side-and he's about to learn even more.
I enjoyed every minute of this book. Morris Weiss is truly a winning character. I look forward to reading more books in this wonderful series! Isidore Hairblum has a new fan!
Murder in Gotham
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This fun, fast-paced PI mystery is a throwback to the hardboilded thrillers I devoured from the 1950s. Haiblum puts in his own twists--Weiss, his likeable PI is Jewish, and his characters' speech patterns are straight from Damon Runyon. The mystery is clever, the people likeable, and the chapter headings from "The Casebooks of Morris Weiss" are not to be skipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Gotham!
