"A Body in a Bathhouse is an accomplished work of LA noir---niftily plotted, atmospheric and sexy, often witty. I look forward to finding Mitch O’Reilly in further problematical venues."-Richard Stevenson, author of the Don Strachey PI novels.On the verge of bankruptcy, private investigator, Mitch O’Reilly takes any gig that comes his way, while running his Eye Spy Supply shop in a forgotten Los Angeles strip mall. After two tours in Afghanistan, Mitch’s life amounts to operating his store, coping with his fun-loving sister, Josie, and scoring with anonymous men he meets online. That changes when he gets a break. A beloved comedy scriptwriter is murdered at a bathhouse, and Mitch is hired to prove the innocence of the club custodian. Adapting from a two-bit gumshoe to a high-profile sleuth proves more challenging than he expected.Following leads from sprawling mansions to sketchy hoods is demanding but becomes more troublesome when deadly threats jeopardize the biggest opportunity of his career.
Brad Shreve's 'A Body in a Bathouse' is a fun page turner and a clever mystery that crackles with sharp dialogue. Novice P.I. Mitch O'Reilly doesn't always know what he's doing, and occasionally blunders along the way. Struggling with PTSD and a failing spyware retail store, he's in way over his head, at first. But driven by determination and smarts he refuses to give in, and it pays off for him, as well as the reader.Add a colorful supporting cast, and a slew of suspects with more than a few skeletons in their closets. I had a marvelous time getting to the finish line, thanks to Brad Shreve's tight prose, humor, a well-plotted storyline, and twists and turns to keep me guessing until the end. A Body in a Bathhouse is a satisfying read, and a great beginning for a new series.
