James L. Thane: April 2014
http://jameslthane.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
James L. Thane. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Dismas Hardy Faces His Most Difficult Legal Challenge Yet. This is another very good entry in what has become my favorite legal thriller series. Over the thirteen books that precede this one, author John Lescroart has created a great cast of characters, centered on attorney Dismas Hardy, Homicide Lieutenant Abe Glitsky, and their families and friends, many of whom are active in San Francisco's relatively close-knit legal community. Moses retains his brother-in-l...

James L. Thane. Monday, March 31, 2014. Steve Carella Investigates Another Perplexing Case. Number 20 in the 87th Precinct series opens with a woman being brutally slashed to death while her young daughter cowers in the next room, playing with her favorite doll. The victim is a beautiful model who would have naturally attracted the attention of a good many men, but why would one of them want her dead? Sunday, March 30, 2014. A Great New Protagonist from George Pelecanos. Like many other young people who ...

James L. Thane. Thursday, July 31, 2014. John Rebus Returns and Readers Are in for a Treat. At the end of Exit Music. In 2008, Ian Rankin was forced to retire his cantankerous Scottish detective, John Rebus, because Rebus had hit sixty, which is (or was) the mandatory retirement age for detectives in Scotland. Happily, Rebus now returns, albeit as a civilian assisting a cold case squad rather than as a full-fledged detective. In an interesting sub-plot, the retirement age has now been raised, and Rebus i...

Sunday, January 4, 2015. You're Doing a Hell of a Job! By Simon Kurt Unsworth. 4 out of 5 angel feathers. I received a free advanced copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for this review.). Most of us like to act like our jobs are hell. But what if your job actually was in Hell? Then bitching about the broken microwave in the break room would seem kind of silly. All in all, this was a clever and unique debut novel that makes me hope we’ll be seeing more from Unsworth. Also posted at Goodreads.

James L. Thane: August 2015
http://jameslthane.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
James L. Thane. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. A Great Rediscovered Novel from Tom Kakonis. I confess that I approached this book with more than a little regret because it’s the last book written by Tom Kakonis that I hadn’t had a chance to read yet and I hated the thought that I might not ever have another of his books to come to fresh for the first time. I first discovered Kakonis in the late 1980s when I read an excellent review of his first book,. Kakonis agreed and wrote two additional suspense novels,.

http://jameslthane.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
James L. Thane. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Another Great Noirish Tale from John Rector. Nick White is having a pretty crappy couple of months. He's lost his job; his efforts to make money as a card player are not going well, and his wife has recently kicked him out. So one can readily understand why the poor guy might be sitting in a bar on a rainy night, sucking down Scotch. Nick decides that he has nothing to lose by playing along and responds by saying, "That depends. Are you her? John Rector is a master...
