Mixing the real-life horror of human monsters with a touch of the supernatural appealed to me. I came up with the idea of a train robbery gone wrong and turning into a slaughter, then Rory Daggett, the sole survivor, growing up to avenge his parents.
The only problem is Noose Holcomb, the titular villain, has essentially disappeared. When a member of Noose's gang surfaces, Rory reinvigorates the search to take the gang down member by member to get to its heart.
Rory growing up as an orphan is such an integral part to the story that I had to play into that with the introduction of a new character who aids in his journey.
Noose was a blast to write and I've my toes back into those waters a few times to pen some short stories that will be released throughout the summer and fall of 2022.(less)

Moonlight Mile is Dennis Lehane’s cap on one of the all-time great detective/thriller series. At times the book feels a little tired, but it’s oddly appropriate, reflecting an older, more cynical version of Patrick Kenzie. Ultimately, it closes the d ...more

Rate this book

In this book, Judith Sonnet, masterfully tows the line between over-the-top, sex and gore and reality. The “extreme“ label and warning are more than warranted, and with less care, could have crossed into absurdity. Instead, Sonnet sprinkles a little ...more
