MEDIA REVIEWS
I've reached my limits with novels where the plot seems to focus on murdered women and/or children ... I'm more excited about the new wave of crime novels that are as much about location as they are about gruesome deeds. The River At Night, set during a women-only, white water rafting trip in the Maine wilderness, out in January ... is where the thriller is heading, I reckon * Red *
