Terminal: A Burke Novel (Burke Novels)30 reviews
Andrew Vachss

Pantheon, 2007

Pulls no punches

+ Best Burke yet!

Ever since my wife brought me "Hard Candy" while in the hospital I have been hooked on Andrew Vachss' writing. While many writers in this genre get tedious with their characters after a while, Vachss keeps his main man Burke refreshingly alive and different with each new novel! I make it the ...

Kept me guessing

+ Oh, my!
+ Excellent Fast Pace Thriller from Front to Back

This is the first murder mystery in a long time, where I didn't have everything figured out by the halfway point. I'd never read a Sandford novel before, and am very glad to have been introduced to this author. The characters, as gritty as they are, were well developed and interesting. I'm not ...

Death's Dark Abyss2 reviews
Massimo Carlotto

Europa Editions, 2006

"Pity was a feeling that belonged to another life, before death had put mine under wraps."

+ Noir, Italian Style

If you like neo-noir fiction that is lean, mean and relentlessly dark, then Massimo Carlotto's stunning novel, "Death's Dark Abyss" is for you. Through his characters and their actions, the author eviscerates traditional notions of good and evil--those are standards that simply have no meaning in ...

Justice denied

Being a fan of all J A Jance mysteries I enjoyed this book. It lives up to the excitement and energy of all the JP Beaumont mysteries. Jance has a style of writing that keeps you enthralled beginning to end. You don't want to put the book down until the last page, and then you are still longing for ...
