A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

FADEOUT - Joseph Hansen
Evidently this is the first PI mystery where the investigator is openly gay. Written in 1970 Dave Brandsetter is sent to investigate the disappearance of radio personality Fox Olsen.
Along the way he uncovers a series of damaged individuals before solving several murders.
This is a good hard boiled mystery in the Lew Archer mold. Its a bit dated with some of its 70's slang but this shouldn't put you off, very enjoyable and it is a series with several more to read.
