Review of 'Moth (Lew Griffin Mysteries)' on 'LibraryThing'
5 stars
There's something weirdly magical about the Lew Griffin series. In this, the second of the series, Lew is looking for the drug-addicted daughter of his lost love, finding his first clue in a neonatal ICU. Lots of children are missing in Lew's world, and so are mothers and fathers. As always, Sallis tells the story with poetry and fondness for those whose lives are never quite whole and for storytelling itself. He's a writer whose unusual voice trumps all the conventions and cliches of my favorite genre.
