A review by coeurdesamurai
The Case of the Little Bloody Slipper by Carlie St. George

3.0

I'm gonna go with 3 stars because it's rather short but I could feel a lot of potential. The world is compulsive and so are the characters. The noir genre mixed with the retelling story gave some kind of wicked Sin City ambiance. However, I found it too messy. Perhaps it's the lack of development or the overuse of info-dump; too many people for so little words and a lot happen in such a short time. At times, the writing was a muddle and scenes would go too fast and not clear at all -- but the dialogues were fabulous and so was the use of old slang! Totally recommend this quick read though.

Btw, the short story is free to read right here: http://www.thebooksmugglers.com/2015/11/the-case-of-the-little-bloody-slipper-spindle-city-mystery-1-by-carlie-st-george.html
