Dead and the Dying | Ed Brubaker

If I'd read John Singleton's introduction while picking up this book at the library, I'd have put it down again, as he makes it sound ickyly seedy & exploitative. As it was, I almost didn't bother reading it, but I'm glad I did in the end, as it was better than the sales pitch made it sound. Three interlinked noir chapters advance the violent story from three perspectives, using flashbacks and flashforwards. It's a pretty dark 3.5 ⭐

Bookwomble I also picked up a compilation of Lalo Schifrin's jazzy film themes today, including Mission Impossible, The Man From UNCLE, Bullitt and Dirty Harry, which was a pretty good soundtrack for the GN 🖤
