Vicki Hendricks, Miami PurityRead about the other entries on the list.
Hands down, the purest, most evocative piece of Miami noir ever. An ode to James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice with a dollop of crackling sexuality to boot,Miami Purity doesn’t wallow in the tourist-y trappings of Miami some might expect, instead giving you a harsh dose of reality from the perspective of sexy, sharp and conflicted laundromat employee Sherri Parlay. You can easily get lost in Hendricks’s delectable wordplay, even as you’re ensnared by a story so soaked in noir it hurts.
--Marshal Zeringue
