Dead of the Day is the third book in Olson's excellent series featuring Annie Seymour, a salty police reporter in New Haven, Conn. Once again, Annie is in over her head investigating a story that’ll either win her a Pulitzer Prize or get her killed. Olson writers fun mysteries with just enough edge to make them sparkle. Now that the series has moved from hardcover to paperback (and from Mysterious Press to Signet), hopefully it will start finding the larger audience it deserves.
