Wyvernfriend Reads

... always an investigator.  Nick thought he had left all that investigation stuff behind him but it keeps chasing him down and insisting he gets involved, sometimes at the wrong end of a gun.

Oh man they put away a lot of booze.  I remember this from the film (and now I want to watch it again) This book is well-served by the film and in fact the snappy dialogue reads like it should be a film script.

Nick and Nora Charles are spending their Christmas and New Year in New York and are pulled into a missing man mystery where Nick knew the man back when he was a detective and he is reluctant to leave his luxurious life behind to get caught up in shenanigans.

Oh man, the liver damage if you sipped a drink every time a drink is mentioned.  They spend their day well-pickled.

I liked it, honestly preferred the movie but it was a fun read.

It falls into the Classic Noir and Murder most Foul squares but I'm going to use Classic Noir for this one.
