Review: Dead Men Kill

Summary (from Goodreads): When several of the city's most respected citizens are inexplicably killed by what appear to be zombies, all Detective Terry Lane has to go on is a blue grey glove, a Haitian pharmacy bill for some very unusual drugs and a death threat from a mysterious stranger. Matters are soon complicated when a beautiful nightclub singer shows up who claims to have information that could solve the case, but whose motives are plainly suspect. Against his better judgment, Terry investigates her lead only to find himself sealed in a coffin en route to the next zombie murder—his own.

Review: Dead Men Kill was not what I was expecting and, thus, knocked me on my behind when it was deemed dead men really do kill. It quickly went from being an interesting curiosity to science fiction suspense. If the later is your thing and you would like to explore the fantastic with a slant to days-gone-past, pick Dead Men Kill for a quick saucy read to excite your day. If, however, you (like I) did not previously connect L. Ron Hubbard the author of this book to L. Ron Hubbard of sci-fi fame/ Dianetics & Scientology and are looking for a gritty detective novel, look to Raymond Chandler and the great Phillip Marlowe.
