The story i would recommend to my friend would be "The Method" i enjoyed reading this story a lot because it was different having the protagonist as a female, but it was exciting to hear it. i was so into this story because this time it was like the man that are usually the protagonists was the femme fatale or should i say the man-tale. It was a big flip around having the man seducing the female because I'm always use to hearing about the female taking control and seducing the man. but it still turned out that the female end up wining in the situation. I like that the fact she was aware of what was going on. At the end of the story she had reverse her self into a true femme fatale she made it seem that she didn't know what was going on but was really setting him up in the trap that he had planed for her.
In "Morocco Junction" it was a good story to read but i just didn't connect to it like i did reading "The Method". The Method was more film noir to me just in a woman point of view, even though most of the time it doesn't always turn out that one of them gets away but in this story she end up getting away and he didn't even know it was coming. I also notice that she didn't tell it like she was having flashbacks it was more of straight forward, however i do consider it still to be noir because it doesn't matter that the fact that the female is the protagonist and first- person narrator either way it still turns out with a cruel murder.
I agree with you that "The Method" was more of an interesting story than "Morocco Junction". I think that "The Method" was more interesting because instead of having a male protagonist and a male narrator, we actually had a women narrator and a woman protagonist. It was interesting to have Richard as the "femme fatale. But Holly caught on fast and surprised him in the end. With "Morocco Junction, we didn't really have a femme fatale so that's why maybe it wasn't that interesting.
