Why read it?
1 author picked Ice Blues as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
You know what I like about Donald Strachey? His boyfriend. I’m kidding—Strachey’s fine.
He’s a smart, tough detective in the hard-boiled tradition so of course I like him, but do you ever think way more of someone because they had the good taste to pick the partner they did? Timothy Callahan is a Jesuit-educated political aide, former Peace Corps volunteer and one of those characters who gets called a “moral centre” because they are one.

From Gayleen's list on hard-boiled comfort reads for a disappointing world.
