Well represented in TV shows and comic books, the US has a strong history of crime stopping twosomes (Batman & Robin, Starsky & Hutch etc…) but what about in crime novels? Most of the best characters seem to be the lone-wolf types. So who are the best US based hero/sidekick pairings?I’ve come up with:Stout’s Nero Wolfe and Archie GoodwinCoben’s Myron Bolitar and Win Horne Lockwood IIIDeaver’s Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia SachsCrais’s Elvis Cole and Joe PikeGerritsen’s Jane Rizzoli and Maura…See More

Review: "Wrecked" by Tricia Fields

While this novel could be read as a standalone, because of the numerous references to the two prior books scattered throughout this novel, readers who have read the earlier works will appreciate this one more. Some of those references are clear spoilers for the prior books.
