Unlike Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler, Coxe was not a literary stylist: he was a solid, reliable storyteller and wrote many books. The drawback here is that Flash Casey had his origins in the two-fisted, rough-and-tumble brand of crime fiction, so that the older, slightly more introspective Casey isn't quite as engaging a character as his younger self. He just doesn't have enough depth to compete with Chandler's Philip Marlowe or Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer. (For Casey at his finest, see Black Mask stories like "Murder Picture" and "Once Around the Clock.") Still, Error of Judgment is a consistently entertaining novel; it's unlikely that you'll ever reread it, but you won't be sorry that you read it the first time. Three and a quarter stars.
(Originally published in 1961; reissued in 1967 as One Murder Too Many.)… (mer)
