Read Online and Download Jelly's Gold: A McKenzie Novel (Mac McKenzie series Book 6) by David Housewright. Rushmore McKenzie, a retired St. Paul policeman and unexpected millionaire, often works as an unlicensed P.I., doing favors as it suits him. When graduate students Ivy Flynn and Josh Berglund show up with a story about $8 million in missing stolen gold from the ‘30s, McKenzie is intrigued. In the early 20th century, St. Paul, Minnesota was an open city —a place where gangsters could come and stay unmolested by the local authorities. Frank "Jelly" Nash was suspected of masterminding a daring robbery of gold bars in 1933, but, before he could unload it, he was killed in the Kansas City Massacre. His gold, they believe, is still somewhere in St. Paul. But they aren't the only ones looking. So are a couple of two-bit thugs, a woman named Heavenly, a local big-wig, and others. When Berglund is shot dead outside of Ivy's apartment, the treasure hunt turns unexpectedly deadly. In this hard-boiled mystery from David Housewright, Mac McKenzie is looking for more than a legendary stash from seventy-five years ago---he's looking for a killer and the long hidden truth behind Jelly's gold.
This may not be Housewright's best McKenzie book, but it is probably his most fun. Basically, it is a treasure hunt, and treasure hunts can be a great source of amusement. Mobster Jelly Nash stole 33 bars of gold from a South Dakota bank, and hid it somewhere it St. Paul. Shortly thereafter, he was rubbed out. So the gold had to be somewhere in St. Paul, right? As is usual in treasure hunt stories, a large collection on colorful greed-bags is in hot pursuant of the loot. Modern mobsters, heirs of old mobsters, Seductresses, aged convicts and half-innocent engenues all get into the act. There is even a murder of one of the more loathsome greed-bags. Only once in the book suggest the truth to the reader -- that if the gold is found, it does not belong to the finder. As a result, the conclusion is both inevitable and well deserved. Think "Bleak House". Good fun.
I started reading the McKenzie series from number one and am about halfway through Jelly's Gold. I've read comps for McKenzie including many of fiction's most hardboiled PIs. Those comps don't take his wry humor into account. I'd compare author David Housewright to one of my favorite writers, Ross Thomas. There is strong plot development plus surprising plot twists.
"Jelly's Gold" is David Housewright's 6th Rushmore McKenzie novel, a series that I have followed with relish. McKenzie is the flawed former police officer who once resigned from the force to collect several million dollars in reward money and has used that money to become an unlicensed PI who does "favors" for friends in trouble.In this outing, McKenzie is intrigued when old acquaintance, Ivy Flynn (see Tin City, now a grad student, enlists his aid in helping her and her boyfriend, Josh Berglund, find $8 million dollars in hidden gold bullion. The gold was the result of a bank robbery by real time gangster, Frank "Jelly" Nash, in 1933 and was never located after Nash was killed in the infamous Kansas City Massacre. Soon, McKenzie is competing with others for the gold including assorted thugs representing different interests, dignitaries whose ancestors associated with Nash, a fascinating woman named "Heavenly" and former paramours and lovers of the college students (Ivy and Josh), all of whom want a share of the fortune. McKenzie becomes mired in double crosses, triple crosses, history lessons, death and violence, and even brief confrontations with his PD friends, including Lieutenant Bobby Dunston.Housewright employs a risky literary device to tell a story within a story about the St. Paul, Minnesota of the 1920's-30's. In those years, St. Paul was a wide open city that welcomed infamous criminals as long as they obeyed the local rules of the "O'Connor System" named for a local "fixer." Many recognizable names from Alvin Karpis to Verne Miller to John Dillinger to the Barker brothers are mentioned in historical "flashbacks" that are necessary to link the St. Paul of the '30's and the disappearance of "Jelly's Gold" to the St. Paul of today and the search for that gold.I have written before how well I feel I know the Twin Cities from the wonderful descriptions Housewright employs as his novels unfold. His characterizations are also spot on as he builds character and dialogue that are believable and real to the reader. McKenzie is a protagonist who has limitless potential. He has a conscience yet also a temper that can get him into trouble. He cares deeply about others yet has no problem resorting to violence when appropriate. He is a cool thinker who uses well thought out police work to find answers and even when he makes mistakes, he recovers in time to restore your faith in him.I did feel that this effort was not as gripping or engrossing as previous installments in the McKenzie series. I was never deeply invested in the characters or the plot, perhaps because there were so many minor characters and the plot jumped frequently between the 1930's and today. I can, however, recommend Housewright to any reader of noir and thriller genres. His efforts include humor, violence, strong love interests, double crosses, heady doses of the Twin Cities and environs, and good old fashioned enjoyable plotting. Rushmore McKenzie is an outstanding character in a great series and "Jelly's Gold" is a good stand alone for the new reader to explore.
I really enjoy the Mac McKenzie series but I had a hard time getting through this one. There were too many characters to keep straight. Also, I felt like I was back in high school history class. I’m sure the people who call St. Paul home would be very interested in “the good old days†of the city but I found it kind of dull.
This became my new favorite McKenzie novel. McKenzie is drawn into a treasure hunt, which leads to an unexpected dead body. The hunt is woven into the famous criminal past of the St Paul area of the Al Capone era. I enjoyed everything about this book.
