The Gentlemen’s Hour is the sequel to Don Winslow’s The Dawn Patrol (which I reviewed in yesterday’s posting). Surfer Private Eye, Boone Daniels, gets involved in a murder investigation of a local surfer and an intricate real estate conspiracy. I liked The Gentlemen’s Hour better than The Dawn Patrol because Boone’s involvement in the murder investigation alienates him from his surfer friends and he’s forced to work on his own. Don Winslow ties things up a little too neatly at the end, but once again the result is a satisfying read. For another review of The Gentlemen’s Hour check out Scott Parker’s posting here. GRADE: B+
