Red Handed: The Fine Art of Strange Crimes | Matt Kindt
2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Welcome to the city of Red Wheelbarrow, where the world's greatest detective has yet to meet the crime he can't solveevery criminal in Red Wheelbarrow is caught and convicted thanks to Detective Gould's brilliant mind and cutting-edge spy technology. But lately there has been a rash of crimes so eccentric and random that even Detective Gould is stumped. Will he discover the connection between the compulsive chair thief, the novelist who uses purloined street signs to write her magnum opus, and the photographer who secretly documents peoples' most anguished personal moments? Or will Detective Gould finally meet his match? Matt Kindt operates with wit and perception in the genre of hard-boiled crime fiction. Red Handed owes as much to Paul Auster as Dashiell Hammett, and raises some genuinely sticky questions about human nature.

I was expecting vignettes of amusingly strange crimes and what I got was a fascinating puzzle with questions about crime & justice & purpose.
Amazing art, interesting pacing with short chapters on various people/crimes, and compellingly odd characters that all come together in a dark story that was more #thoughtcompelling than I expected. Thumbs UP! 👍
