The Upsides of Downtime

I have one more piece to put up in The Rap Sheet today—a “Revue of Reviewers” compilation—and then for tomorrow, a rundown of the most interesting new crime, mystery, and thriller books due out this summer. After that, I’m taking a week-long break. Thanks to the wonders of automatic posting, Killer Covers will continue its very popular tribute to paperback cover artist Ron Lesser. But this page is destined to remain quiet until mid-June. At which time I shall return to Rap Sheet headquarters feeling rested and rejuvenated. I hope.
