What a terrific choice for this month's Book Club! I loved this book. It's basically a film noir in book form (I guess that would make it a livre noir?), so much so that I mentally cast Barbara Stanwyck as Eve and pictured that character as looking like Phyllis Dietrichson from Double Indemnity, one of my favorite movies. The writing is great, the setting is fascinating, I liked the characters even when they were rather unlikable - this was just a great read. Highly recommended.
