The question of the day is: Have you ever bought a book based on the quote by an author on the cover of a book??

EK Discovers Bruce DeSilva’s Liam Mulligan

I did just that  earlier this year, after finding, The Dread Line by Bruce DeSilva at the Dollar Tree. I had never heard of Bruce DeSilva. However, Steve Hamilton is one of my favorite authors, and his quote about the book, convinced me it was worth taking a dollar chance on the book. Read More

A Beautiful Corpse – Christi Daugherty (Book #2 – Harper McClain)

A Beautiful Corpse is the second book in Christi Daugherty’s series featuring newspaper crime reporter Harper McClain. I read the first book in the series The Echo Killing earlier this year. Both were really, really good. In both books the murders that form the core of the book have a connection to Harper. In The Echo Killing the murder eerily resembles her mother’s unsolved murder.

The Mourners – Bill Pronzini – (Nameless Detective # 30)

So when you read your fifteenth book in a mystery series, one would think that you have read most of the books in that series. That unless the author of the series is grandmaster Bill Pronzini and the series is his “Nameless Detective” series. The first book in the series was released in 1971! The total number of books in the series now stands at 40! Yikes, I haven’t even read half of the books! Read More
