Description

Someone's left a man's body in Donald Strachey's car - the grandson of Albany's most connected political fixer. A letter from the deceased asks Strachey to dismantle his grandfather's party machine. Like a chess master, Strachey moves ten suitcases, an army of colorful pawns (all of whom think they're king) and $2.5 million across the continent and around Albany. One of the funniest in the series.

Found my way to Richard Stevenson's Albany world via the movies based on these works. The leads in the movies playing Don & Timmy were such well rounded characters when I ran out of movies (sure hope to see more) I went for the books. Normally, I'll always go for books first, but these were unsual circumstances. Don and Timmy match Nick and Nora, in my opinion, and that is the highest praise I can offer in the "mystery solving couple" genre. The book is, as usual, far superior to the movie, much as I enjoyed it. Movies can't really take advantage of much of the vocabulary and description I so enjoy, especially for such really interesting, well rounded, fully fledged characters. But the real gold mined in the books was due to the use of language and Stephenson uses a lot of it, all of it very well. He builds a mood, introduces something zany, shows some really bad guys doing really bad things and an often inept looking Strachey who nevertheless, with the love, support and occasional nervous assistance of Timmy will work it all out and deliver the crooks to Det. Bowman, your usual anal retentive Old mystery dick. Does that seem unkind? The movies sugarcoat Bowman, he's nastier in the books. Highly recommend. I've read four of these series now, it's safe to write his work is not at all formulaic. You have to work for the solution, but along the way you meet fully rounded, well described characters any of which, if you visit the seedier side of town or life, you just might know of.
