Loved it. But that seems the wrong thing to say about a book that starts with the scentence - the baby is dead.
A timehistory traveling romp where the heroes drive classic cars, get chased by faceless men (literally) and search for the American Dream that was stolen in 1963.

A dark atmospheric book that is infused with dread. There is really only two endings it could have and it picked the right one.
Here we have a story similar to a more modern novel [b:The Immortalists|30288282|The Immortalists|Chloe Benjamin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1493015963s/30288282.jpg|50766250] by [a:Chloe Benjamin|15968276|Chloe Benjamin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1482438426p2/15968276.jpg] - a death is predicted by a pretty reliable fortune teller. The novel is essentially an exploration of how the protagonists react to this prediction (being Roman Noir you can probably guess they are not too happy about it). Can the police do anything about it? Is it just a scam? Or is the prediction itself a self-fulfilling prophecy. Read and find out.
Warning this book is written in the 1940s and is shockingly classist, sexist and even a little racist in places. How the police treated a former prostitute in order to aid a rich man is just one example. However, if you are willing to overlook these faults you have a gripping Roman Noir where the hero is going to rescue his Dame come hell or high water.

This went from yeh its okay to one of the most enjoyable crime thrillers I have read in a long while.
Based upon two girls, 6 and 10, accused of violently killing a toddler in 1997. The 10-year-old is convicted but the 6-year-old is deemed too young under the law. Now 19 years later with a new identity, the now 25-year-old is staying at a hotel where a young child goes missing.
The past is slowly revealed but will the policewoman, writer or uncle work it all out before it's too late.
Recommended for those rainy days when you just want to get lost in a thriller.

“Bro," said Roger. "You're a time traveler."
"No, I'm not," said Nate.
"Not yet, but maybe in the future.”
This is House of Leaves style mystery for Scooby Doo and classic sci fi fans. If you can’t quote the 1980’s version of Ghostbusters this will go completely over your head. If you can – your gonna love it.
Recommended to anyone who understands the below movie reference.
“Come on.” “Where are we going?” “Across the street,” she said, opening the gate. “What for?” “I told you, it’s better if you figure it out on your own.” “Right,” he muttered. “No one can be told what the Matrix is.” She smirked. “Something like that.”
