Book Review of The Blonde

The Blonde
reviewed on + 453 more book reviews


Jack Eisley flies into Philadelphia for an appointment with his wife's divorce attorney. Before leaving the airport, he stops in the bar for a drink. Big mistake. He meets a blonde there who tells him that she's just poisoned his drink and that he'll be dead in 10 hours. What Jack takes for an odd pickup line at first turns out to be far more sinister and he gets sucked into a web of intrigue and violence unlike anything he could have imagined. The Blonde is generally described as noir in style. You could also call it "hard boiled" fiction but it's not a detective novel, it's more of an adventure/intrigue story.
