Peter James’ Stop Them Dead
Peter James’ Stop Them Dead is another in a very long-running series, and chooses to focus on a murder connected to a specific subset of crime to give it some novelty. A small family is making ends meet partly by … Continue reading
Jode Millman’s The Empty Kayak
Jodé Millman’s The Empty Kayak is the third in a series starring police detective Ebony Jones. With a title that makes the coming action seem obvious, the book relies heavily on twisting and character to keep reader interest. The police … Continue reading
Earl F. Bargainnier’s The Gentle Art of Murder: The Detective Fiction of Agatha Christie
Faith J. Cormier wrote this review. I have one serious problem with this book – the typeface. The main text itself is fine, but long quotations, as well as the notes, are in tiny, tiny, tiny type. Even with progressive … Continue reading

I ran across a reference to Zoo Station while browsing the web. I was looking up another book about Germany during World War II and the Amazon search engine gave me this title as a recommendation. It sounded interesting, and … Continue reading
Rebecca Cantrell’s A Night of Long Knives, and David Downing’s Stettin Station
The advance readers’ copies of both of these novels arrived in the Green Man mailroom at about the same time. I have read and reviewed earlier installments in both series. Both are suspenseful tales of the lives of journalists living … Continue reading
