Down for the Count

Title: Down for the Count

Author: Stuart Kaminsky

Summary: This is the tenth in the Toby Peters series. The location is LA in 1942. Each of these revolves around some well-known personality of that era - this time it's Joe Louis. The murder of Toby's ex-wife's husband gets the story rolling.

Recommendation: These are kind of slap-stick mysteries that are apparently enjoyed by nearly everyone. The Peters character evolves in the series, so it's somewhat more interesting to read them in order of publication. He mentions products and prices in that time period, which adds to the interest of the stories.
