Charlie asked:
"How about this one? Has anyone ever found a cime novel that
is written strictly in 1st person, but from two different
main characters' point of view. Meaning first do one scene,
or chapter, from the good guy's point of view, then the next
scene or chapter from the bad guy's, while using 1st person
instead of 2nd."
Weren't Dick Lochte's Sleeping Dog and Laughing Dog
structured this way? They definitely alternated between two
distinct points of view. I'm pretty sure they were both first
person. I liked those a lot, kept hoping for a third in the
series. Any chance, Dick?
The Nameless collaborations (the two or three crossovers with
other series detectives) are also structured that way, aren't
they? How about the Marlowe/Prather collaboration, how is
that handled?
This isn't exactly the same, but S.J. Rozan alternates first
person views, but it changes book-to-book, not chapter to
chapter.
