Yesterday is Dead A Bragg Thriller edition by Jack Lynch Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
When Bragg returns to his home town of Seattle to help his childhood friend, Benny, he discovers a lot has changed. Benny, a benign freelance writer, cannot figure out what he did to make somebody want to drive him out of town or harm him. The police don't take his complaints seriously and until a bomb is thrown into his office after Bragg has started investigating, they do nothing.
Bragg however is doing a fine job stirring things up. He manages to get entangled with his ex-wife as well as digging into any clue that might solve Benny's problem. Benny's son suggests rather than looking into the published stories, why not check out some of the ones that never made it to print.. That's when things really get heated up and there are plenty of twists and turns before the mystery is solved and those responsible are brought to justice. Oh yes, there is a nice angle with a "retired" mobster and a couple of eccentric society ladies that adds additional spice to the story.
But for me, a story never clicks unless I like the protagonist. Bragg is a decent guy who manages to muddle things up as we all do yet is a guy you would call upon if you needed help. He makes a compelling hero and someone about whom you can care. That is a powerful combination.
Peter Bragg is a San Francisco private eye. He is originally from Seattle, but he left all that behind the rain, the grey skies, the depression…and Lorna, his ex-wife. Now a case brings him back. He isn’t eager to make the trip, but an old friend is in a spot and needs his help. And for the reader, it is a trip indeed, since the story is set in the 1980’s, when it was originally published. This established mystery series is now available digitally, and I was lucky enough to jump on Net Galley’s offer to read it free. My thanks go to them, and to Brash Books, for the DRC. What a fun romp!
These are modern times alrighty. There’s a new Interstate connection to Bellingham; a guy can hop on the I-5 and be there in two hours. Neat!
Those that have been to Seattle lately understand how wry this is, since a person can sit that long in gridlock just trying to get to the outermost suburbs now, at least during rush hour.
In addition to a trip back in time, Lynch serves up all sorts of twists and turns that keep the plot moving nicely, but also keep the game fair for the reader.
When all was said and done, I found myself wishing I could read the whole series. Recommended to anyone that enjoys good detective fiction. You can get it for yourself May 5, 2015. And you should!
Tough Stuff!!
Yesterday is Dead is a quite enjoyable look at the docks and dregs of a violent, unsentimental city, peopled by blasé and uncaring cops and sexually aggressive dames, as seen through the eyes of a tough, cynical PI who feels that all is a-kilter as he works his case.
Yesterday is Dead is all about atmosphere. Peter Bragg, a medium-noir private investigator, is not as dark and cynical as Sam Spade, but he's earned his chops and, in this book, continues to earn them. He's dealt with his share of whackos, con men and bad guys, so he packs two handguns when traveling to Seattle to help out his friend, Benny (this is the early 1980s or so, before terrorist plots and cell phones.) Seattle is full-noir drizzle and drear, dark and venal. Bragg has a continual feeling of wrongness about the city and its denizens - the skyscrapers and high-rises choking the hilly city are just out of whack; he runs into his ex-wife, who wants to rekindle a relationship Bragg would rather leave dead; his mild-mannered friend, a bit of a nebbish, has been threatened with death if he doesn't leave town, but he doesn't have any idea why; a tall, thin, pale, goth-appearing artist wants to paint Bragg, presumably nude. What's a good, clean, all-American boy to do?
Well, he misplaces his guns (called "gats" by his threatened friend), forgets his extra ammo, caroms from one dalliance to another, tries unsuccessfully to avoid whiskey and gin too early in the day, gets shot at and takes a beating that would kill any non-fictional person, still tries to save his friend and, by-the-way, discovers some major fraud perpetrated on the city. Just another day in the life of a medium-noir private eye. Good stuff. Tough stuff. The stuff good detective stories are made of!
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
A very good series to read. Love the main character and the mystery is always good. Made me laugh out loud at times even though the mystery is serious. A page turner for sure.
