Murder and More perfectly sums up this piece of work, by Gerald W. Darnell. The main setting was 1960's Memphis, and I can honestly say that I felt like I was transported to the 60's each and every time I picked it up.  The pictures included, of the referenced places and cars, was an added bonus.

Carson Reno, and his no nonsense attitude, was a strong (and extremely likable) main character. Throughout the book, there was a lot going on, at pretty much every turn of a page....making it hard to follow at times, but after every couple of pages everything ended up making sense.

This mystery novel kept me on the edge of my seat, had me guessing, made me laugh, and had me saying "wow" more than a few times. It was definitely a nice change to my typical reading. Give it a chance....you won't regret it!
