![]() Sure, the plot line feels a bit hokey at first with Damien Dickens hired to solve the murder of Miss America-of all people. Sure, the novel takes place in the early 1970’s, when most adult Americans were being pulled kicking and screaming into the modern age, and the lifestyle of a 1940’s private-dick was idolized by most men reaching their mid-life crises. ![]() Sure, the author sets up her private eye’s life in a utile, budget-friendly, 2-room (one for him and one for his secretary/receptionist) in the low-rent part of town. But Entis’ novel, as familiar to the 1940’s detective mystery genre as it may seem, is-quite surprisingly-anything but your standard find-a-clue-and-solve-the-case fare. Mystery, intrigue, romance, murder, and plenty of action generously pepper this seemingly orthodox, old-style, classic detective novel from Author Phyllis Entis, “The White Russian Caper: A Damien Dickens Mystery (Damien Dickens Mysteries Book 2)”. ![]() ![]() You can already tell I’m super-excited about a book when-in my book review-I express my love of the story from my own point of view instead of being somewhat dignified and objective. ![]()
