What I’ve been and will be reading

After panning Michael McGarrity’s Nothing But Trouble, as being nothing special, I’m pleased to report his Dead or Alive is much better. Yes, all of McGarrity’s good guys are still studly cowboy types, and all his good women are petite hotties. And yes, his bad guys are beyond awful and his victims are too often not worth worrying about. But this one has a good chase and a good resolution. Fun if you like the police procedural genre.

The two food books intervened, but now it’s on to Midnight’s Children, Salman Rushdie’s first classic.
