Ok. I have to ask it: what are some of your favorites so far? I've seen a lot of love here for "Cut Man" by Christa Faust. What else is moving people?
AND: What else would you like to see on the CrimeWAV?
I'd have to say I also enjoyed Last Bachelor of North Miami and Prisoner of Love
Killing O'Malley was good, and you know I'm a sucker for stories tied into sports
I loved Adrenline. I know that some people didn't like the torture scenes, but I think that went a lot toward building the main character and his attitude toward the crime.
I like most of the stories a lot, but Killing O'Malley is my favorite so far. I was enjoying the story -- really could feel and hear and smell the place -- but getting more and more frustrated over the racist comments the asshole was making. I got completely suckered in, getting madder and madder and thinking, "Why don't you say or do something to that SOB?" while that was exactly what was going to happen. It's a keeper.
gotta say 24. love clevenger
Eddie Muller's story was so in-the-moment great. Tremendous narrative and fantastic ending. Can't wait to read more of Eddie's stuff.
I thought that in terms of readability, Crossing the Border did it for me.
A hint of the often bleak lyrical style of Ray Bradbury injected into the modern crime genre. Well done Mr. Dodds
Cornelia Read's "Hungry Enough". Absolutely. Read is such a lyrical writer, she makes me ache. Perfect plot, characters, scene, dialogue. A fine example of her "WASP noir" genre. Reading her is a pleasure I don't even feel I deserve.
I liked "Cranked." It made me laugh.

Ride a Red Dragon was the best IMHO
Must Bite started off great, but felt rushed at the end... and I could have done with a little less monkey sex
