Book Reviews of Here Comes a Candle
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Ultimately disappointing. Doesn't really work as a psychological portrait, but isn't really a mystery. Can't hold a candle (ha ha) to works like Nightmare Alley or The Deadly Percherons.
Summary of Here Comes a Candle
Here Comes a Candle is Fredric Brown at his most audacious in a novel that was far ahead of its time. It is the story of Joe Bailey, whose young life is at a crossroads. Not only is he involved with a tough Milwaukee racketeer and two completely different women, but he is haunted by childhood trauma. Psychologically complex and told in an array of stylistic variations, it is a tour de force with a savagely ironic ending not to be soon forgotten.
