My January column ran in the Chicago Sun-Times this morning. It contains the latest books from M.J. Rose (The Delilah Complex), Michele Martinez (The Finishing School), Sean Doolittle (Rain Dogs), Twist Phelan (Spurred Ambition) and Dick Adler (Dreams of Justice: Mysteries as Social Documents).
They all have things to recommend them, but I especially liked M.J. Rose's book, a saucy combination of sex and suspense. It's not the kind of thing I ordinarily read, but I enjoyed it.
