Rezension zu „No-One Loves a Policeman “
'Wonderfully evocative and cynical, it captures Buenos Aires with a delicate precision - you can hear the tango as you turn the pages' Geoffrey Wansell, The Daily Mail. 'Dazzling... Orsi's mordant, reluctant detective is definitely a one-off' Joan Smith, The Times. 'From the halcyon time of Dashiell Hammett onwards, the detective story has been pressed into service for a pitiless dissection of a corrupt society; Orsi shows that the strategy still has plenty of mileage' Barry Forshaw, Independent. '...fast-moving, cynical, and witty ... Chandlerian in its steamy narrative, the story is about a country and its people going nowhere very fast indeed ... Set against a backdrop of Argentina in meltdown, it is a strongly atmospheric novel ... Of course, he [Guillermo Orsi] writes like a journalist - immediate, living prose that reads as though it was written yesterday' Bookgroup Info, Paula McMaster.
