A new series... June 13, 2001 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This series by Holtzer is a great collection of mystery reading...I read them a little out of order, so you may want to start with the first one (I think this is the second one), but they are great no matter what order you read them in!
An eclectic mystery set in a university town. November 29, 1996 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is set in Ann Arbor, Michigan--a snowbound, university town.Both characteristics are necessary to the murder and subsequent intrigueof this book--but there is nothing that prepares us for the almost surreal eclecticism of the setting, which involves ice storms, arson, poison, murder, and passion. Throw into that mix the realism of the geography and the history of the community--and you have a good wintertime read in "Curly Smoke". The prose is well written, and the conventions of the mystery genre (police procedure, computer intrigue, and a closed and snowbound neighborhood) are handled deftly and with believability. Good entertainment!
