What fans like best about the Dan Turner stories is the absurd language ("private skulk" for private detective; "roscoes" for handguns; "whatchamacallems" for breasts) that was Bellem's specialty. Unfortunately, he became so preoccupied with this synthetic slang that it got in the way of his storytelling, and Bellem was a pretty good storyteller otherwise. Blue Murder contains a few such indulgences (roscoes tend to say "Chow-chow!" or "Chud-chud-chud!" rather than simply "Bang!" or "Pow!"), but they don't become a hindrance to the momentum of the novel. Too dumb to be a good private eye, Duke Pizzatello is nonetheless amiable and determined, and I guarantee that his Los Angeles misadventures won't bore you. Vintage pulp aficionados can't go wrong with this book.
