Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > A Place of Execution: A Novel > Status Update

I’ll do a bit more tonight - finish it up tomorrow morning.

It's excellent - long and involving, and there's a scurvy photo cover on my edition, but I'll look the other way regarding that (metaphorically, literally). This seems very much like the direct descendant of rural Golden Age whodunits, the ones where the cops are the stars, like Lorac's novels. I should get a lot more done, later today.

Well, just a taste, so far - but I feel good about this one. This is a pick from a reading guide called Brit Noir. That book of recommendations is broken down geographically, not so much a "100 Best" list or anything - but at the back of the book is a quick, "Top 25" books to focus on, and this one is 6th on the list. It will be my intro to the author - I had planned to get to Out of Bounds, but never did.

It's reputation precedes it, so I am expecting big things.
