What reading level is Sleuths book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He still had a nervous twitch, still wore the same ingratiating smile. We sat together in a booth in the Seaman's Bar, on Singapore River's South Quay. It was eleven-thirty in the morning.
He brushed at an imaginary speck on the sleeve of his white tropical suit. "You will do it, mon ami?" "No," I said.
His smile went away. "But I have offered you a great deal of money." "That has nothing to do with it." "I do not understand." "I'm not in the business anymore." The smile came back. "You ...are joking, of course." "Do you see me laughing?" Again, the smile vanished. "But you must help me. Perhaps if I were to tell you the reason—" "I don't want to hear about it. There are plenty of others in Singapore. Why don't you hunt up one of them?" "You and I, we have done much business together," La Croix said. "You are the only one I would trust. I will double my offer. Triple it." "I told you, the money has nothing to do with it. I'm not the same man I was before you went away to Manila or Kuala Lumpur or wherever the hell you've been." "Mon ami, Ibeg of you!" Sweat had broken out on his forehead.

Steam would not be "pouring from the twin stacks". It would be smoke, from the boiler fires below. Steam would only be coming from the hooter or whistle whenever the steam release was pulled to make the sound. Just the same as on a railway locomotive. I thought that Pronzini was a WESTERN writer as he's on the Western Writers Wiki list. But he is everything but that. This site's list of REWL western writers is very poor. As are the writers of horse racing novels. Only thrillers seem to be in abundance. Boxing stories are non existant.

$40,000 in gold in around 1870 weighed about 240 lbs and far too heavy for the description of the small man clasping the valise to his chest whilst going up the gangway to the Riverboat. It would have been impossible.Write Review:
