Book Review: The Night Men

Reviewed By: Jennifer Jordan

The Night Men    
Keith Snyder
Class/Genre:   Mystery   Humorous
Series: Jason Keltner # 4
Walker & Company; 2001

This is not a conventional mystery novel. Keith Synder is not a
conventional man. As a composer, he adds a dimension rarely found and, as
a wise-ass, he adds a dimension happily found. It is pure craftsmanship.
It is, also, the fourth book in a series featuring Jason Keltner, but it
stands tall and strong on it's own.

Page one and we find Jason peddling his bike madly across the Brooklyn Bridge. What is a California boy doing in Brooklyn? When it's really, really cold? He is there to help when a gay friend's grand opening of a music store is baptized by an act of vandalism. At night, he stands watch amidst the shattered glass and broken instruments, snooping by day. To aid him in his quest are Roberto and Martin. Oddly, you will be introduced to them for the first time whether you've read another book in the series or not. Excerpts from The Night Men, the PI book that cemented their childhood friendship, make up the third story arc that interweaves this exceptional book.

Totally original, amazingly funny with characters that make this a must read, re-read, and make others read, book.
