Bogart and Bacall, Garrett, Jill and Maya this is a cross between the Big Sleep and Nero Wolfe with the fat man Wolfe replaced by the Dead Man, Fritz by Dean. And while it's all been done before it's never been done this way in the town of TunFaire with dark elves street assassins, trolls, dwarfs,
Recommended to anyone who looking for a hard boiled mystery in a very different setting.
edit** 7/11/17 reread, just as good as I remembered, after recently reading Black Company, I wanted to see if Garrett still had his old magic and he's still my favorite fantasy detective.
