Lee Goldberg, My Gun Has Bullets

This early book by Lee Goldberg has elements that will be familiar to his regular readers: television references that betray the author's love for the medium, and a certain light readability to his prose. It's not as good as Goldberg's more recent stuff, however. The characters are cartoony (the guy with hair implants, for example), or some of them are, the plot is a bit too far-fetched (the pair of stunt men), and the story sometimes veers into excessive detail when it comes to discussions of the television schedules of the various networks. The lead character was enjoyable, however, and there are elements to like here as well—the love interest, the grande dame who is not what she seems.
