I’ve been meaning to read Lipsyte for a while now but have never found a library copy (embarrassing) or a bookshop copy . Sounds like my sort of thing. Interested to hear what you think of him.

Hi Andres
Nice blog! Delighted youa re still reviewing. Thought I’d let you know that Crime Factory has been resurrected in a slightly different format and the first issue is available here http://www.crimefactoryzine.com/main/HOME.html

I should point out that I am not involved with this but I know the guys who are (two in Melbourne one in the US) and they are looking for good reviewers. So I thought of you. Drop them a line if you feel inclined or share you crime reviews from your blog??
Best
David

Time is the issue. I’m sure a lot of bloggers burn out fast, for that very reason.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say, I enjoy reading your site. I thought about starting a blog myself but don’t have the time.
Oh well maybe one day….

Comment on Return of the concealer: Review of Thomas Perry’s Runner by Andres Kabel

My own view is that like a lot of crime writers, Perry pumps them out too fast. They come out competent but have lost the spark and conviction of early releases.
