The Deputy’s Widow: An Enticing Noir Detective Story
By Mary Menzel:
J.B. Kohl has brilliantly succeeded in capturing the noir essence in her debut novel “The Deputy’s Widow.” We are instantly transported back to the days of 1948 when men where tough and gritty and women were called dames. Here we meet Detective Hamilton Baker, who is a well rounded character: a great detective, a rejected husband and a man who believes in finishing the job… regardless of the consequences. This talented new author has taken a mix of murder, deception and repressed memories and created an enticing read reminiscent of the noir classics we all know and love.
