Little Girl Lost by Richard Aleas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a solid, if not particularly ground-breaking, first effort; a bit of a love letter to modern crime authors like Lawrence Block (who the author properly thanks in the acknowledgements). It was nice to read a crime novel about a young guy just getting started, and while it wasn't hard to see the end coming, it was still worth seeing how it was going to get there. Definitely a good starting place for people new to the genre, or for long-time fans just looking for something new but a little familiar.
I'll definitely be checking out the second John Blake book.
