She Kept the Bar Between Them By Steve Rosse

She Kept the Bar Between Them By Steve Rosse

With his eyes still closed he waited while she considered whether to serve him or throw him out. She approached him and by the slowness of her approach he knew she had not made up her mind. He opened his eyes just as she arrived opposite him; she kept the bar between them. He saw from her clothes and bearing that she was not a cleaning woman and not a prostitute; he assumed that she was a partner in the ownership of the bar. Her black hair shone like onyx her skin was the color of honey. The gold at her throat and wrists glinted under the austere fluorescent light. He didnt try to guess her age it didnt matter to him. She was slim and shapely and very self-assured; Murray found her instantly attractive. She was giving him a grin the kind of grin a woman gives an impudent child.

I liked Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts and found it fascinating to learn about it. The book starts a little slowly but evolves into a fantastic journey, that along the way, communicates a sense of how irrational life must be. There are scenes and characters that will stay with you well after you've finished the book. Very satisfying. I recommend also reading.

I enjoy Dennis Lehane writing style. The book moves along at a pace that will keep your interest.
