A Mystery No More

Today’s mail brought me the October/November edition of Mystery News, which contains a front-page interview with the increasingly accomplished novelist Reed Farrel Coleman (The James Deans, Hose Monkey), Stephen Miller’s profile of Patrick Quinlan (Smoked), and an article about Sarah Stewart Taylor (Still as Death). Oh, and there’s an “Out of the Past” retrospective on somebody I’d not heard of before: attorney-author Eleazar Lipsky (1911-1993), two of whose novels--Kiss of Death and The People Against O’Hara--were made into movies.

Any day in which you learn something new has to be considered wonderful. So today counts as a winner.
