Latest Sun-Times Column

Back from Bouchercon and still recovering...Had a wonderful time, although it was exhausting. I'll try to write something about it later.

My latest column in the Chicago Sun-Times ran on Sunday.

It includes my rave on T. Jefferson Parker's California Girl (probably the best book of the year so far), as well as very positive remarks for Elaine Flinn's Tagged for Murder, Jim Fusilli's Hard, Hard City, Greg Rucka's A Gentleman's Game and Benjamin M. Schutz's The Mongol Reply.

(Sorry, no pans this time. These days I seldom finish the awful ones, so I don't review 'em.)

Check out USA Today tomorrow for my next review (hopefully)!
