I enjoyed &quot;Paris Trout&quot; which was the first Pete Dexter book I'd ever read, but I was consumed by &quot;The Paperboy.&quot;<br/><br/>Thanks, Pete!

    <body><![CDATA[When this started, I thought it would be a mystery-- 2 reporters in the late 60's-early 70's investigating a past crime.  They think the wrong man is in prison for a murder.  But, they never actually &quot;solve&quot; the crime.  Instead, it was more about how they were living (ruining?) their lives...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16738870">more...</a>]]></body>
