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 ...

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 - 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 ...

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 ...

+ 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 ...
