Review

Open Season isone of those “pulp” thrillers which stock airport bookshelves. Typical of the detective genre, here the plot revolves around embezzlement, fraud, murder, and a predictable suspect.

The story, however, is somewhat flawed. Perhaps O’Donohoe should have spent more time on the plot than in trying to put “clever” words into the mouth of his hero, private eye Nathan Phillips.
