## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Drugs, whoring, violence and despite all this, I enjoyed it.
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2016*

I enjoyed Stateline so much (despite the violence and foul language) that I immediately bought the sequel, Dying for the Highlife.  Dan Reno is a believable character. He has his flaws, drinking to much is one of them. In this book, a drunken looser Jimmy wins a fortune in the lottery, and Dan is hired by the step mother to locate her now-rich step son to try and to weezle some money out of him. Jimmy's father, and step-brother are also looking for him for the same reason. Ditto a small time drug dealer who wants to collect the $2000 Jimmy stole from him. The drug dealer enlists the help of the Mexican Mafia to locate Jimmy. All are trying to track down this waste of a man who insists on spending his millions on coke and whores. All hell breaks loose and people die, but Dan Reno lives to sleuth again. By the way, when I finished this book, I bought the next 3. Dying for the Highlife is a good book, not great in my opinion due to the excessive violence and language, but I enjoyed it none the less.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lots of sex and violence--but not much swearing.
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2015*

I don't know that I loved it but I liked it a lot.  Very well-written, for starters.  That's a big plus for me as I am sick to death of the wholesale corruption of the English language.  Only a couple of typos in this one and one other thing that I find totally mystifying--the baffling disappearance of the word "wasn't" from said language.  I am starting to grind my teeth at the wholesale use of "weren't" where it sounds stilted and awkward and, also, is incorrect.  But I digress--so I can digress again on the subject of noir fiction, of which I think this book is a prime example, unlike the last half-dozen books I've read that billed themselves as noir and didn't even come close.  This one didn't but is.  Moving right along (however slowly) I liked the Elmore Leonard-style plot and the disturbing "realness" despite being a basically standard PI offering. I was surprised so many women like it, even though I did.  Due to the very graphic mostly gratuitous violence and sex, I thought maybe it was more "dick-lit".  I don't particularly mind the violence but the degrading sex is a little icky.  Womanizing goes with the territory in PI novels but some of it was a tad TMI for me.  Nevertheless I will read his other books if the opportunity arises (read they're free).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Really Good Crime Noir
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2021*

Dave Stanton does a really good job with his follow up Dan Reno crime novel. This book was full of great characters, fast-paced, and a thrill by the page story. I really enjoyed how the book shows each situation from the viewpoint of the various characters and keeps Reno in the middle of everything. I’m looking forward to reading the next Reno story in the series. I would highly recommend the Dave Stanton crime novels.
