Book Reviews of Private Eyes: A Writer's Guide to Private Investigating (Howdunit Series)
Book Review: Digger
Summary: 3 Stars
Hal Blythe and others' PRIVATE EYES for the Howdonit Series is a general overview of the profession. It is bland reading, but does give the writer some insight for further research. It is not a book to follow blindly when construction a mystery built around a PI protagonist.
At this date of fifteen years after publication it is due a major rewrite to update technology and techniques. If the time period fits your work it can help, because nothing is more frustrating for a reader than to find new methods in a period work.
