Trio of Treats

My fondness for CrimeReads has only partly to do with the fact that that Webzine occasionally publishes my stories. It’s also because CrimeReads packs in a multitude of interesting material five days a week. Three recent top-quality examples: Curtis Evans’ excellent piece about “an appalling family tragedy” in 1934 Alabama, and the 1944 it inspired; Neil Nyren’s thoughtful guide to Marcia Muller’s series of Sharon McCone private detective novels; and J.D. O’Brien’s tribute to Harry Dean Stanton’s rogues’ gallery of film characters.
