Amy Bradley's Reviews > Double

One of the earlier books in the Sharon McCone series, Double is a cross-over with Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective. Both are at an investigator’s conference in San Diego, when a friend of Sharon's - and organizer of the conference - falls to her death.

This was neat, as the writing styles and descriptions interleave - alternating chapters feature McCone and Wolf (the Nameless Detective). Seeing the two styles juxtaposed was interesting, especially with a few chapters covering the same scene from the two detective’s perspectives.

(Interesting aside: this 1995 Mysterious Press edition has Charlene's husband as Nicky, rather than Ricky. Threw me for a bit, as I was realizing the name wasn't right, but couldn't recall Ricky’s name off the top of my head while I was reading. Unsure if he was mentioned in any earlier books.)
