A character in the DCI Banks novel I was reading looked up to Modesty Blaise as her role model. When the police procedure in DCI Banks began to drag, I decided to give this book a whirl. I knew it was from 1965, and I was prepared for camp, but the book still annoyed the heck out of me. Modesty Blaise is a male fantasy! The lengthy weapons discussions are a bore. "The sex isn't sexy," to quote a UK reviewer. Willie's dialect gets old (but I have a low tolerance for dialect). Modesty herself is a paragon, of course, but you don't really get inside her head. The other female characters are pathetically dumb and expendable. If you're expecting a fun, feminist James Bond, you will fling the book across the room in disgust. I did, several times.

Peter O'Donnell is no longer among us, but his great characters remain.  Modesty Blaise and her side-kick, Willie Garvin, are unique action heroes, in that they have no pattern but their own, no stereotype.  Also, most if not all of the subsidiary characters are wonderfully vivid right along with Modesty and Willie.All of this is a mighty spice to the many Modesty stories, again uniquely terrific in two print formats, prose and illustrated strips.  This new volume is the last but one of the series, which reproduces all of the strips over forty-odd years.  Add eleven novels and two volumes of shorter stories, almost none of which are done in both formats.Stylistically there a strong resemblances, but O'Donnell very seldom told a story more than once, over his entire voluminous body of work.  He also killed his stars in a final prose story.  He may have done so in the final strip story also, but we haven't seen that one yet.  It's to be out maybe this year, maybe next.  Stay tuned, to collect the entire sequence of strip stories!

Imagine my surprise when I discovered the Modesty Blaise series in conjunction with the hullabaloo over The Girl series by Stieg Larsson. I consider myself a well read mystery fan and I had never heard of this series. According to what I read, Modesty was one of the characters that Lisbeth was modeled after. Well, just like with Lisbeth, I fell in literary love with Modesty. What a wonderful series ala the female James Bond like character, although that does not do justice to her character. And  the relationship between Modesty and Willie her partner in crime is a wonder to behold. I just wonder if we could all learn from their relationship. You don't have to be sexually involved to be VERY close to someone from the opposite sex. In any case once I read the first book "Modest Blaise" I was hooked. I immediately put together the entire series from a variety of sources. I am happily ensconsed in the AC reading about Modesty  and Willie and their latest caper while it is horrid outside. I hate to admit it, but they even brought the occasional tear to my eye, and this from a hard-boiled life long mystery/suspense reader. You can't go wrong. Buy it today and you'll be hooked.
