Review of 'The dark goodbye' on 'Goodreads'

This was an interesting little read. It was a blend of noir detective story with horror a la Lovecraft. "Mutt" Manson is hired to find a young damsel, but it turns out there is more to her disappearance. The local mobster is involved as well as a local industrialist who controls a lot of the city. The plot at times is a bit hard to follow, but it still reels you in. I pretty much read this in one sitting. The gritty line drawing art style matches the setting and story well. While not the greatest manga I have read, I certainly liked it enough that I will look for the next one in the series. By the way, though part of the series, this volume does stand by itself.
