A Man Named Doll (v1) and The Wheel of Doll (v2)
by Jonathan Ames
Review by Dylan
A wonderful series, full of the kind of black humour you find in Coen Brothers movies. Ames’ writing is influenced by Richard Stark, Chandler, Buddhism and also reminds me of one of my favourite crime writers, Charles Willeford. Happy may be beaten, drugged and beset by all manner of predatory scum but he still finds time to talk to his plants.
