The Cabinda Affair (Felony & Mayhem Mysteries) (Dr. Mary Finney Mysteries)
Matthew Head
Felony & Mayhem, 2006
World War II is over but Hooper Taliafero is still in Africa, tying up Uncle Sam s loose ends. The latest end is in Cabinda, a tiny Portuguese colony with gaily painted buildings and a history of slave-trading. Hoop should have a pleasant stay at the home of the local administrator - the beer, after all, is cold, and the women beautiful - but the other guests are an unpleasant mix of hangers-on, ...

The Girl in the Yellow Bikini
Phillip Margolin
Amazon, 2006
Prompt indulgence
+ Pace-perfect, but left wanting for more...
The Amazon Shorts program allows swift, low cost indulgence - not that I'm a cheapie. Ok, perhaps a little. Once in a while I, nevertheless, experiment with writers new to me; once in a while they surprise me, thrill me. Phillip Margolin paints with words a memorable picture and a carefully ...

Grand Theft Auto IV
PLAYSTATION 3 | Rockstar Games, 2008
It is what it is!
+ Pretty fun, but is it getting old?
+ A great game with a few let downs
The best way to sum up this game is "it is what it is." That may sound rather short and empty, but to me if you've played GTA games before then nothing here is going to surprise you. The main character goes around stealing cars and "working" for crime bosses in different parts of the city just as ...

Beautiful and soooooooo gritty, this is a must-read if you're a mystery or noir fan, or if you just appreciate a really good story.

Hard Man
Allan Guthrie
Harcourt, 2007
Unforgettable crime thriller
+ "Blood was thicker than disgust."
HARD MAN is about as good as modern crime novels get. It's got twists, shocks, blood, and plenty of anti-heroes for you to root for, curse at, and generally become enthralled with. This is a frantic, fast-paced, cynical, hardcore story that combines a lean, powerful prose with a full-ahead ...
