I haven&#39;t read a good noir book since Sam Spade, and seeing a female protag in such a setting--rather than just the bombshell love interest/victim--is definitely refreshing.<br /><br /><br />Smiles!<br />LoriLoriStronginhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10764202539292045963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050483584490989049.post-81625042271538325162011-12-15T18:20:47.230-08:002011-12-15T18:20:47.230-08:00I love historical fiction, and the 1940s is a period that I&#39;m interested in, so I&#39;ll have to put this on my to-read list. <br /><br />P.S.

She also sounds like an interesting character. Not too good or too bad either. Usually a great combo in a character!Melissa (Books and Things)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050483584490989049.post-56939125537006398162011-12-15T10:32:46.097-08:002011-12-15T10:32:46.097-08:00A noir who-dun-it! Sounds fun. I can definitley see Iris&#39;s intentions being in the right place, even if she doesn&#39;t always make the best decisions.Missiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050483584490989049.post-41721439727803685292011-12-15T09:57:35.738-08:002011-12-15T09:57:35.738-08:00I haven&#39;t read many books set in the 40s so I like that this one is a little different in that regard. I don&#39;t like that Iris lies but I agree that makes her more realistic and allows her to learn from them. I haven&#39;t heard much about this one so I&#39;ll probably check this one out.
