Review: Dead Clown Blues

Dead Clown Blues by R. Daniel Lester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Carnegie Fitch is a Private Eye…he has an office, even if the phone isn’t connected.

One night he offers the janitor, Jim, a whisky….after 3, Jim is drunk, he steals the rest of the bottle and off he crawls.

Later, Fitch hears, Jim had left his office, stole a car, drove through a circus big top and crashed into a lake and drowned. At his funeral Fitch sees a group of mourners in black suits and full face clown make up……..

The Dead Clowns want the money …what money you ask? The money Jim was said to have….but if he didn’t have it, the clowns don’t have it….so who does?

This is pulp fiction at its best, there’s violence, drama and dark humour and even a femme fatale….great fun and thoroughly entertaining.

Thank you to R.Daniel Lester for the opportunity to read this for free. This is my honest and unbiased review.
