The following review appears in the August edition of Booklist:
Healy, Jeremiah
Off-Season and Other Stories
0-7862-5438-6
$25.95
"Boston private investigator John Francis Cuddy is Healy's best-known
creation. But as these 10 short stories and one novella illustrate,
Healy is
capable of creating believable characters and clever plots outside the
confines of the modern private-eye novel. The novella, "Off-Season," finds
vacationing Boston police detective Kevin Malloy helping the apparently
befuddled police chief of a small Caribbean island solve a locked-room
mystery. "The Safest Little Town in Texas" is a perfect example of a Chamber
of Commerce marketing phrase being both misleading and deadly accurate, as
one small-time hood finds out. A short highlight is "Rotten to the
Core," in
which the son of a widowed apple farmer has his nefarious plans pointed
right back at him. Healy's work--Cuddy and otherwise--is notable for its sly
humor and sharp dialogue. Both are present in abundance in this very
enjoyable collection." |
