Would that every crime-fiction columnist could find even half as much joy in practicing his art as Shots’ Mike Ripley so obviously does. In his latest installment of “Getting Away with Murder,” the thoroughly pampered (You have “under-butlers” fetching you frothing pints? What are the regular butlers doing?) M. Ripley opines on the controversy surrounding this year’s International Dagger Award winner, the oddity of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being nominated as Best British Crime Novel (since it was originally published in Scandinavia), the latest work from Scottish author Denise Mina, and Thomas Pynchon’s dip into the dark and turbulent waters of contemporary detective fiction.
Indulge The Ripster even further. Check out his new column here.
