Recently, Library Journal posted a review of Casefile: ARKHAM – Her Blood Runs Cold…
Hank Flynn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to actor Robert Mitchum, is a recently returned World War II marine who has just received his PI license, and his first assignment is a doozy! Trying to locate a vanished, untouchable playboy who’s been behaving badly, the amateur sleuth encounters a feast of gritty cynics, twisted con men, and bodacious, independent women. Haunting this fast-paced noir like an invisible villain are sinister dark forces: imagine Dashiell Hammett meets H.P. Lovecraft to produce a marvelous gumshoe adventure set in the flickering, neon-lit 1940s
And the verdict?
Finney and McEvoy deliver a visual blitz of stark black-and-white atmosphere and suspense that will appeal to mature readers with a penchant for classic pulp fiction, great pen-and-ink work, and edgy whodunits with a tip of the hat to stylish Hollywood crime drama.—Russell Miller / Library Journal
I’d say that’s a ringing endorsement. But don’t take his word for it. Try it out yourself.
