   Is Miami Blues a hard boiled novel?

   • When you think 1980’s hard-boiled novels, Miami Blues is probably going to be one of the top nominations on that list. Charlies Williford was such a prolific writer, with over forty novels published, it is kind of sad that he is best known for the Hoke Moseley series that he wrote very late in his life.

   • Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote: " Miami Blues is best appreciated for the performances of its stars and for the kinds of funny, scene-stealing peripheral touches that keep it lively even when it's less than fully convincing."

   Oct 18, 2019 · All of the elements of ‘80s Miami—the random violence, the refrigerator truck morgue, the drug gang overkill, the police corruption, the Marielitos and the Jewish retirees—show up in Miami Blues.
