Our reviews of Marvin Albert's work

The takes

What we have said about Marvin Albert

  • A Pete Sawyer Riviera mystery by Marvin Albert. Half-French American PI in the South of France. Old-school hard-boiled with sun.

  • Marvin Albert's Pete Sawyer Riviera PI in solidly mid-series form. The South of France treated as a working geography, not a postcard.

  • Pete Sawyer back in Nice. Marvin Albert in late form, still competent, slightly more comfortable than his sharpest middle-period books.
