The Great Train Robbery

Crichton, Michael
I really enjoyed reading this book about a train robbery in Victorian England. Crichton explains what was going on in society to give you background to the crime in a non- threatening way.

SMOKE QUOTE:

"You might have inquired before lighting your diabolical contraption," Fowler said, with the girl leaning against him, weak-kneed, so that much of her bosom pressed against his chest.

Crime novels : American Noir of the 1950s

Crime, Title
Five stories crime: The Killer Inside Me, by Jim Thompson; The Talented Mr. Ripley, by Patricia Highsmith; Pick-Up, by Charles Willeford; Down There, by David Goodis, and The Real Cool Killers, by Chester Himes. I used Mr. Ripley in separate entry, but I finally finished the whole 892 page book. Which is set in 10 point Linotron Galliard. The paper is Ecusta Nyalite. And lite it is! Way too thin. And 10 points is way too small!! The stories are ok, except for Mr. Ripley, but I am not excited by them. Maybe I\'m just not a noir kind of guy.

The Last Good Kiss

Crumley, James
P.I. Sughrue takes on a ten-year-old missing persons case Adult themes. Lots o' drinking, cussing, violence, etc. I always appreciate an author who kills off the most sympathetic character in the last four pages after everything has turned out ok. Sorry, just forget I said that. They were already dead, anyway...oops that gives even more away!

Santa baby

Crusie, Jennifer
I never thought Id say it, but I couldnt finish this book because it had too much sex. The first story, Hot Toy by Jennifer Crusie, was pretty good. The second story, Christmas Bonus by Lori Foster, was pretty boring and too much sex. The third story, Naughty Under The Mistletoe by Carly Phillips, was boring and looked like it was going to have too much sex, eventually. So I quit!

Tell Me Lies

Crusie, Jennifer
A woman find some unmentionables (not hers) in her husband's car. Very good funny tale, some hot sex, funny lines.

QUOTE:

Calm down. Be rational. Eat Chocolate. There was a good idea. Chocolate spurred the production of endorphins, which would calm her down, and was full of caffeine, which would give her the energy to kill her husband. The best of both worlds.
