Here is the link to my March 26, 2014, review of the Lawrence Block novel Lucky at Cards.

In my review, I discuss my ideas about how the plot devices of some mystery/crime novels seem to be about regaining balance and integrating with society, and how Lucky at Cards subverts that dynamic a little. I discuss my feeling about some character arcs, as well as the love scenes, the pacing, the story's POV, and some other characters I like.

Here is the link to the Hard Case Crime edition of Lucky at Cards.

10/19/2014 review of the novel Borderline, by Lawrence Block

Here is a link to my Twitter review of the Lawrence Block novel Borderline, which I posted on October 19, 2014.

In the review, I discuss Lawrence Block's story structure, his characters, the sexuality of some of the characters, the sex scenes of the book, some of my past Lawrence Block reads, and some of the influences Block has had on my own writing.

The edition of Borderline I read was from Hard Case Crime. You can find it here.

Also, I bought this book from the Tattered Cover Book Store, a great bookstore chain in the Denver, Colorado area.
