Gregg Hurwitz is another new to me author.  I chose to listen to his latest book You're Next.

The opening prologue is guaranteed to snare you. A young boy - 4 years old - is taken by his father to a playground....and left. Young Michael Doe grows up in foster care,…

I've come to enjoy free ebooks. What did we do without them. Free is always good and made better because it's, well, free. Something about a free book just makes it a good read, no matter how labor intensive it is to get through. I wish I could read all the free ebook, but I've already got bunches I haven't gotten to yet. 

Hey, what about Pay Pal censoring what they deem to be immoral books? They are a private company and I guess it's okay if they censor, though it seems…

My ambition to read all top 100 crime novels (according to the 1990 CWA list) is going well, but I keep thinking of titles that seem to have been missed off the list. 

I’ve read mainly US titles so far, so here are five surprise omissions from the list. I’ll suggest some UK omissions later.…

Hi Everyone, I'm back, at least I'm going to try and be back. I'm working really hard on my new novel. I'm calling it That Girl. I went through a block of procrastination for about a year and a half. I am getting geared up to promote my first novel, Bum's Rush. I'm a little shy about it. Doubt keeps rearing it's ugly head and indecision keeps me inactive. It's quite paralyzing. I'll keep you informed.

I think I have written the best 'Smitty' short-story so far.  I decided to reboot the original 'Call Me Smitty,' the story that brought this dark eyed hit-man into existence.

Come over to my blog and check it out.  Tell me what you think.…

I knew Deborah Crombie's name and was aware that she wrote a British based detective series, but she was an author I hadn't experienced - until I raced my way through her latest book -…

As many readers know the Horton series is set primarily in Portsmouth but Horton's investigations often take him out into the Solent and to the Isle of Wight. Here are some photographs of the places that are featured in the latest Horton crime novel A Killing Coast by Pauline Rowson. In A Killing Coast, a multi millionaire's luxury super yacht is…

When you set your sights as high as Dana King did in Wild Bill, it's easy to fall down. The epic scope of this mob yarn offers plenty of pitfalls for a first-time novelist. But author King handles things with a steady hand, crafting something truly…

Opening a new book is like unwrapping a present on Christmas morning. You see a pretty dust cover over the formed cardboard like shell and you wonder what’s inside. Will it be a story to excite you or make you laugh? Will the hero be fearless and the bad guys extra evil?

Many times, the book ends up being the annual Father’s Day tie. Nothing special, same unexciting characters, standard plot with a few new twists. Once in awhile, however, you do get something shiny and fresh…

Yes, the daily onslaught on anticipatory hype is over. Worst Enemies is now available for Kindle for a measly $2.99, or its rough equivalent in various other countries.

From what would have been the dust jacket copy, had the book had a dust jacket:
