William Morrow, 2007
Thank goodness for Deborah Crombie!!
+ Crombie books rock!!!! + A Wonder in the Winterland of Rural England
I just discovered her wonderful series a couple of months ago. I read one of them and went back to the library to get everything else of hers they had or could get on inter-library loan. I think I've now read eight and loved every one of them. (I thought that was all of them, but I read here --O ...

A False Mirror (Inspector Ian Rutledge) 19 reviews Charles Todd
William Morrow, 2007
Not up to Todd's usual great writing...
+ well written mystery
This is a readable book. I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone who enjoys mysteries. However, it is not as tightly plotted and written as the earlier mysteries in this series. It seems at times as though Todd was reaching for a certain length of book, and that the book could have been ...

Beyond Reach (Grant County) 154 reviews Karin Slaughter

Beyond Reach - a disappointment
I read some of the reader reviews that were favorable and decided to try this book. I initially found the writing somewhat awkward, but eventually the story became more interesting. Later in the book two of the main characters, Lena and Jeffrey, who were smart cops did very stupid things to set ...

Priest: A Novel (Jack Taylor Series) 11 reviews Ken Bruen
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2007
Irish Noir
+ Kne Bruens's the Priest + Pitch-black noir in Galway
There is no joy for Jack Taylor. This book is like a train wreck. A glorious , noir train wreck that you wouldn't look away from even if you could. The running dialog inside Jacks head is a fascinating window into the mind of a man that reads voraciously out of a desperate need to mask the pain. An ...

Learning to Kill: Stories 4 reviews Ed McBain
Harvest Books, 2007
"Pulp fiction" at it's best
+ Mastering the Craft of Crime: How Ed McBain Learned to Kill + The history of a great American crime author
Long before Quentin Tarantino popularized the term, there once was a real world of "pulp fiction." For the first half of the 20th century, magazines printed on cheap "pulp" paper with names like Black Mask, Manhunt and Argosy thrilled readers with lurid covers and often equally lurid tales of crime ...
