“Character development is quirky in a good way, and the protagonist alone is a work of art.
— Gaius Konstantine for Readers’ Favorite
A gritty but tongue-in-cheek satire of hard-boiled gumshoe fiction, The Sham Shamus by Charlotte Stuart is a creative twist on the private eye genre, where the lines between hunter and hunted disappear entirely. —SPR Review
As a long‑time fan of noir mysteries, I thought I had seen every twist the genre could throw at me. This book proved me wrong in the best possible way. The humor is sharp, the characters are delightfully flawed, and the plot had just the right balance of grit and absurdity to keep me turning the pages. —Aaron (Amazon Reader)
