Before getting into the story itself… as part of due diligence in respect to potential readers… this is a small short book. Though the pages number to 234… I found it a little distasteful… that the first page of written dialogue didn’t come till page 13! In addition to two pages of writing credits (counted as pages)… there were three separate pages with the title of the book. If that’s the way you meet a contractual page count minimum… it seems odious at best.Doak Miller is a retired NYPD cop who has moved to Florida… and to augment his police pension… he has hooked up with local law enforcement to do odd jobs. One such job is to pose as a hit- man… to try and entrap a beautiful-sexy-blue-eyed woman who wants to murder her rich older husband. Doak… though “wired up” for their rendezvous to secure the contract hit… Doak slips her a script he prepared for her to surprisingly read… to go on tape… to convince the locals… that she changed her mind. And thus the hot… sordid… love affair… and murder plot… begins.Doak… though never described as a hot sexy leading man type… has sex thrown at him from every angle… without even the slightest suave maneuvers… and just as surprisingly… or hard to believe… “they” all like to talk about other sex acts… real… or imagined. There’s Barb the married real estate agent… who likes showing property through the front and back door… and loves telling… and listening to stories… real… or imagined… there’s Mrs. Ellison… the married pregnant mother… who is probably… the most ridiculous rendezvous in the book… and of course there’s “old-blue-eyes”… who does it all… tells it all… listens… to it all… and of course wants her rich husband “offed”!Through it all… Doak… drinks… plans… performs acts… while the… unholy trio… seem to wait in line… for action… and stories. Doak shares his murderous background… and his penchant… for “choking” in the clutch… as he tries to assuage… his microscopic moral fiber… with old noir movies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lawrence Block's career seems to come full circle in this engaging (but slightly flawed) novel *by C***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2016* It is impossible to read this book without thinking of some of Block’s early titles from the 1960’s. The title is clearly reminiscent of The Girl with the Long Green Heart (1965). The plot is an update on the same classic noir theme that Block examined in the first novel that bore his own name, Grifter’s Game (1961).That theme is: Boy meets Girl. Boy decides to kill Girl’s husband to get the money.This is as hard noir as you can get. The characters in Grifter’s Game were lovable losers who you wanted to root for, but they made choices that took them down destructive paths from which they could not recover. However, the characters in Girl with the Deep Blue Eyes are all unrepentant parasites from the get-go. Everyone is using someone, cheating on someone, or playing an angle to make a cheap score.One thing I loved about the novel is that the protagonist often watches classic noir movies on TCM. During the course of the book, he reflects on films like Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice, among others, and he compares his life to theirs and ruminates on how his fate will play out.A lot of reviewers have complained about both the high number of sex scenes and their graphic nature. This too is a throwback to early Block who wrote pseudonymous sex novels for nearly 20 years. I will say that a book like this needs a certain amount of luridness, but in this case the sex scenes quickly become counterproductive. The protagonist was having such hot, steamy sex with so many women, I kept wondering why he was taking so many risks for one particular woman who frankly seemed interchangeable with the others.Block provided a resolution that managed to be surprising because it went against much of the foreshadowing that had come before. This was almost exactly the same technique and ending he used once before in Cinderella Sims (1961), and it was the best ending possible. The final line was classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful story telling *by B***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 3, 2021* I loved this book especially the ending (read it and find out what I mean). A lovely bit of sleaze with a fatal infatuation for the blue eyed girl of the title by the main character, a retired cop now a private detective. The sex scenes are on the right side of nasty and the plot to kill the husband standing in the way of the deadly couple is believable. There are continuing references to famous films like 'Double Indemnity' and 'The Postman always rings twice' because the detective is always watching them late at night while he ponders his own deadly plan to get the woman he craves and her husbands money. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/128078329-the-girl-with-the-deep-blue-eyes-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/128078329-the-girl-with-the-deep-blue-eyes-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
