RW> The latest book by Minette Walters 'The Dark Room' uses this
RW> technique to pin down the date, if not the time, of a homicide. The
RW> book is quite good, she specializes in kind of pschological twists
RW> and plots. My emotions and feelings about the main character flipped
RW> over and over. The ending was a bit too abrupt after all the feints
RW> and bluffs in the rest of the plot, but a good satisfying read.
Sounds worth looking for. Thanks.
RW> I just finished Laurence Shames first mystery, or at least I think
RW> it is his first one. He worte or co-authored books before this one,
RW> but I don't think they were mysteries. Anyway it is call 'Florida
RW> Straight' and is a great book.  Lots of good characters, and local
RW> color of Key West and NY. Not much violence in his books, lots of
RW> good dialog and plotting.
That's what I like in a book.
RW> Next in my pile is the latest Charles Paris book by Simon Brett. It
Haven't read any of that series, though I've enjoyed the Mrs. Pargeter
series.
RW> ever so slowly. If you read and like Tony Hillerman, you will almost
RW> certainly like Straley. Hillerman gets a lot more caught up in the N
RW> avaho culture and mysticism, and Straley shows us life on the edge
RW> of another frontier - in Alaska.  A lot of similarities in how the
RW> two authors intertwine the natural world, the spirit world, and
RW> human frailties.
My, you are adding to my shopping list alarmingly! ;)
RW> BTW, has Belle Bijou been posting on here lately? I've been absent
Haven't seen her, but my memory for names whizzing by on the screen is
abominable.
Happy reading.
