### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply one of the best mystery/ suspense novels I have read in ages
  

*by V***1 on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2016*

Booze, dames, stiff drinks, smoky jazz clubs, spies, politicians, and a dynamic 1950's New York City, are all part of the rich tableau in "Night Life" by David C Taylor. You can see William Holden and perhaps Lauren Bacall on screen in glorious black and white. Simply one of the best mystery/ suspense novels I have read in ages. A Noir gem.Detective Michael Cassidy, your good cop, is an atypical hero in many ways. While he does his share of smoking, drinking and fighting, he has a more cultured upbringing than the typical 50's cop. His father a successful Broadway producer, means that Michael grew up around the rich and famous and certainly didn't need to be a cop to make a living. Cassidy's attitude can get him in trouble when he runs into Senator Joe McCarthy's partner in communist hunting Roy Cohn on New Years Eve 1953. He immediately makes an enemy of Cohn, which was not a good thing.A few months later people start dying. Cassidy and his partner are on the case, but not for long. The FBI shows up and takes the case. Unsurprisingly this does not stop Cassidy. Little by little it becomes apparent that these murders are linked to secrets of some very powerful people, and many of these people are not whom they seem to be.There are several action scenes that are almost cinematic in scope. The characters are well drawn, and the paranoia and fears of the "Red Scare" in post war America, stoked by demagogue are reminder we need to be vigilant about today.Looking forward to Cassidy's next adventure.

    This is simply one of the best books I have read in years
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015*

This is simply one of the best books I have read in years.  Engrossing.  Compelling.  Far, far more than a "just" a noir crime novel, it is a detailed and complex tapestry of NYC and the US in the early 50's as it was. It is rich with great writing.  Lines you won't forget while the story and characters won't let you put it down.  Don't start it on a night when you have to be at work the following morning.  You'll never get there on time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Terrific mystery/thriller... I'm looking forward to a series
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017*

Very much enjoyed this and the depction of the McCarthy scare and the egregious Roy Cohn, McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover. At one point, Cohn, by way of McCarthy, goes after the hero's father and is getting him deported: "They can do anything they want these days. It's the times we live in. We came out of the war thinking everything was going to be all right, and the next you know things are worse than ever. Russia. The bomb. Everyone's living with the idea that the world could blow up and we could all die tomorrow. People are scared. The guys like McCarthy and Cohn know that, and they know it works for them. If you scare people enough, they'll let you do anything you want as long as you promise it's for their protection." Now reading the follow-up, *Night Work*, which is pretty good, too.  I'm looking forward to a series.
