“The
Boyfriend” by Thomas Perry is his latest novel which I thought was a
stand-alone novel, but it is really the second novel he has written with the
Jack Till character who first appeared in “Silence.” After retiring from the LAPD,
Till becomes a private investigator. When he takes on the case of a recently
murdered young girl, he finds ties to other deaths of similar young women
around the country. Not only does Perry write great books, he has an
interesting background. He has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the
University of Rochester and he has worked as a television writer and producer
on Simon & Simon, 21 Jump Street, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
On Hold Right Now:
“Silken
Prey” by John Sandford. This is the 23rd Lucas Davenport novel. I’ve
enjoyed every one of these novels and can’t wait for the latest. John Sandford
is the pseudonym of John Roswell Camp, an American author and journalist who
won the Pulitzer Prize in journalism in 1986.
Special Interest:
From
2008-2012 Kenneth Branagh played Swedish sleuth Kurt Wallander on the
Masterpiece Mystery series called “Wallander.” The series is based on Henning
Mankell’s bestselling mystery series. Branagh is terrific as the brilliant
detective who is fighting his personal demons. The series is exceptional.
