    Lovely review of Christine Falls, Frank. I look forward to reading the book when it is out in PB over here, which is soon.
    Enjoy the author event tomorrow. Wish I could be there.

    I also am glad to note your reviewer's positive take on the Vida book -- The Times reviewed it glowingly on Saturday so I'd already resolved to buy that book. Now doubly resolved.

    Glad to see the PI books section up to page count.

  2. Thank you, Maxine. Coming from someone like you, who knows a good deal more about crime fiction than I do and writes really outstanding reviews of it, it means a lot.
