If you can make it past the Web site’s obnoxious and repeating audio advertisement for Jason Pinter’s new novel, The Mark (who in the hell thought that was a good idea?), you’ll discover that the May edition of Mike Ripley’s “Getting Away with Murder” column has been posted in Shots. Finally.
Among the Ripster’s targets this month: Stephen Jones’ biography of Basil Cooper, prolific author of the Mike Faraday detective series; C.S. Forester’s early “crime novels of psychological suspense”; “chick-lit vampire fiction,” about which he laments, “What I find slightly unhealthy is the way publishers are falling over themselves to gorge on this particular flavour-of-the month (and surely a minority taste)”; and the forthcoming, but posthumously published novel, Vita Nuova, by Magdalen Nabb.
The full column can be found here. To save your eardrums, though, turn off your computer’s speakers before clicking on that link.

Naughty, naughty.
We are working on a way to load the page without the sound bleeding through to other areas of the website. But every one has a volume control.
