Not the type of book I normally read anymore (the same could be said of the 7 Deaths...) but one I really enjoyed. Maybe it is the type of book I read anymore because it is a mystery. A dystopian/apocalyptic novel that bends genres like taffy. Whatev ...more

Another of those books that you have to sit and think about long after you've finished it. Both the story itself and the larger questions about the drug war that it raises. This is the same thing I felt after reading the Tail of the Dog series. Is th ...more

I read Bedelia, not realizing at the time that Caspary had also written Laura. Once I found out this (well-known) fact, being a fan of the movie, I had to read the novel as well. This is one of those times where the movie and novel are different, but ...more

Another good entry in this series. This series reminds me of Chris Offut's Mick Hardin series (or maybe that series reminds me of this one). In either case, good storytelling on crime in a rural setting. I tried to do the same thing in my A Hard Fros ...more

I bought some of these issues off the spinner rack at my local Piggly Wiggly and enjoyed them. I wanted to see how they held up. Obviously, they are a product of their time (the late 70s) and followed the conventions of the day (a lot of panels per p ...more
