A Man Named Doll (The Doll Series, #1)

Didn't expect I'd like this quirky noir so much. I usually remember all the books I ever bought, but this time I had no idea how this book came to be in my audible library. A quick investigation showed that I bought it when it was on a huge discount as their "daily sale", so I grabbed it because I liked the description, and promptly forgot about its existence.
I'm glad I picked "A Man Named Doll" out of my shamefully long to-read queue. I liked the plot and characters, but especially enjoyed the outstanding quality of the writing. I'd be marking lots of quotes if it wasn't an audiobook.;)
Just one example of many:
Then he noticed the butterflies in the parking lot, swirling about like drunken particles[...].
The audiobook version is narrated by the author himself, and the narration is excellent because he also happens to be an actor, among many other occupations.
I'll be sure to read the next book in the series.

Thank you Georgia! Same to you!:)
These unexpected treasures are good cases of nonexistent expectations. So glad you enjoyed this, Irena!
