Murder Over Dorval
Murder Over Dorval | David Montrose
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
By the author of The Crime on Cotes des Neiges, this is the second title in the Vhicule Press Ricochet series of hard-boiled detective novels set in Montreal. Originally published in 1952, Murder Over Dorval follows the investigations of hard-drinking, seasoned private dick, Russell Teed. First Edition back cover: In one hand she held a plane ticket for Montreal, in the other, a wad of greenbacks. She was a gorgeous looking redhead. For the sake of her lovely green eyes, Russell Teed took the plane and the money. But it wasnt long before he realized that whatever she had offered it wasnt worth it. A razor slash on his leg, a slug in his shoulder and the knowledge that three tough customers were gunning for him meant that Russell Teed Investigations were going to have to finish up their investigations, but quick. Readers of The Crime on Cote des Neiges will know that in a spot like this a Russell Teed adventure is really just climbing into high gear. With a background of Montreal and New York and some pretty terrific action, Murder Over Dorval is definitely Grade A entertainment.

A Pick with some reservations. The setting is great (1950s Montréal) and the story moves along fairly quickly. But it has some eyebrow-raising attitudes and the edition I read had a lot of typos, despite the intro saying that they had corrected typos. (If this is corrected, I would hate to see uncorrected.)

tournevis I'm surprised at the typos. Véhicule are really good about those usually. 5y
rabbitprincess @tournevis Yeah, I don't remember the other two Montrose books having typos like that. 5y

I'm going to Montreal at the end of the month and just remembered I have this on my TBR shelves. That's my train reading sorted! 😄🙌🏻

batsy That cover! 6y
rabbitprincess @batsy I know right? This is a reprint of a 1950s pulp novel and the cover definitely nails that feel 👍🏼 6y
