Mickey Hoffman was born in Chicago, and attended public schools where she acquired the strong suspicion that some of her teachers might be human. She wasn't able to prove this fanciful thinking until much later, when she became a high school teacher herself.

Before landing in the halls of academia, she worked in a variety of jobs, including computer typesetting and wholesale frozen fish sales.

The author is also a printmaker and painter. She resides on the West Coast with her long suffering mate, eight marine aquariums and a very large cat.

Mickey is the author of School of Lies, the first Kendra Desola mystery, and Deadly Traffic book two in the series.

Twisted Crimes by Michael Hambling

A good plot and the usual main characters. I think the writing style hurts the flow because some of the sentences seem clipped off, unusually short.

"I really, really disliked this book. I was ready to put it down by page 20, but slogged on. If this was supposed to be a "literary thriller," it failed miserably on both accounts. On top of Atkinson's cliched writing style, there were multitudes of p" Read more of this review »
