Viviana Valentine and the Ticking Clock

I love hard boiled detective fiction in Old Time Radio. I don't often pick up books of the same genre, but I was curious about Viviana. I am so glad that I picked this up. This has a very 1950s vibe with the language and the societal expectations. My favorite part might be the way Tommy trusts and supports Viviana. Women often do not come out looking good in this genre, but Tommy and Viviana are different. I was hoping for a delightful female had boiled detective and that is exactly what I got!
