Who Killed Jerusalem?: A Rollicking Literary Murder Mystery Based On William Blake's CharactersIdeas Updated To 1970s San Francisco
by George Albert Brown, George Albert Brown
Ded Smith has to be one of my favorite characters this month. His dead ass philosophical, witty and dark humor got me giggling all the way through.
If you have read Moliere's The Misanthrope and some of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novels, its a mashup that I didn't see coming. We have a very unhappy MC playing detective to investigate the death of a golden boy poet laureate set in 1977. Ded soon realizes that to find out what happened, he must not only collect his usual detective's clues but also, despite his own poetically challenged outlook, get into the dead poet's mind.
It's an almost satire and brilliant literary work. I especially liked the banters and the word play among the characters and with Ded to himself. It's honestly a wonderful comedic mystery x philosophical read.
