|
| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB Winner Edgar Allan Poe Award "How could I not enjoy a book where the man obviously has taste in mentioning my cousin's artwork? (David Hockney is related to me, but I'm sure he'd never admit it :-) You know what was refreshing? No love interest. I enjoyed that, not to say I dislike it when it is present. The character Pike is fascinating to me. Perhaps it's the blueeyez :-)" - Bridget - RAM | |
| # 3 Lullaby Town (©1992)
|
|
| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB Sample Chapter(s): http://www.robertcrais.com/excerptlullabytown.htm Nominated for 1993 Shamus Award (Best P.I. Novel) "Robert Crais' Lullaby Town has Elvis Cole and his partner, Joe Pike, begin tracking down the former wife and the son of a big time film director (who is full of himself) and winds up in the middle of East Coast mob entanglements. Karen Lloyd and her son Toby got out from under the thumb of Peter Alan Nelson, now the number three director in Hollywood. However, she got herself mixed up with the mob and now needs to get out from under that. I keep forgetting how much fun Crais' books are. He really has a knack of doing hard-boiled (really hard ... you can roller skate on 'em) and being funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny) without turning the stories into a cartoon." - Jeff Kreider - RAM | |
| # 2 Stalking The Angel (©1989)
|
|
| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB "Now...I wonder why I didn't enjoy this book as much as his previous work. Troubled teenager was a bit too confusing in actions and words and never could figure out why Elvis was so extremely drawn to helping the teen. Much of the plot was muffled to me. Mind you, I really like Crais' style--thus my disappointment." - Bridget - RAM | |
