Reviews For Bad News and Trouble
The feisty West is considered one of the first of the modern women PIs and also one of the grittiest
O'Callaghan writes about a hard, almost harsh, female detective who will take on the world to solve her case. This is walking, talking noir and there's not a lot of good noir left in the world. She's a master of the craft.
