A review by musicsaves
Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham

4.0

FIRST LINE REVIEW: "Stan Carlisle stood well back from the entrance of the canvas enclosure, under the blaze of a naked light bulb, and watched the geek." A "naked light bulb" is, indeed, blazing upon the exploits of Stan throughout this classic crime novel from the Library of American collection and it did not disappoint. Though there were times when it dragged, it was still a fascinating tale of deception, corruption and just desserts. And the ending very powerfully tied back to the beginning.
