A review by nullasalus3
Clare DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway by Sara Gran
3.0
Sara Gran continues to offer a peculiar version of a PI in Claire Dewitt. She has some of the classic flavor of a noir detective, especially in this novel, given her functional (and then not) addictive behaviors. Her investigation techniques feel more traditional here than in her first appearance, though she still relies on dreams and chance more than a typical detective.
Two mysteries unfold during the course of this novel, and they’re both reasonably engaging. However, at times I found myself losing interest in her downward spiral due to grief because I lacked an emotional connection to Claire. She seems determined to keep herself emotionally walled off from those around her, and, consequently, I felt distanced from her as well.
