    About this ebook

    The exotic French Riviera forms the backdrop for this tale for four American expats, scraping by and often slipping over the edge to criminal mischief, just to survive. A great read by one of the masters of hardboiled mystery—though this one is decidedly not hardboiled.

      A Year in Reading: Garth Risk Hallberg

      Dec 3, 2017

      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli

      Top 10 road novels | James Yorkston

      Oct 12, 2022

      As a travelling musician, I spend a fair bit of time on the road, and the possibilities such a lifestyle brings – a new bed every night, new friends every evening (hopefully) – makes it an obvious scenario in which to place a novel. Character not wor

      To say that the inspiration for my third whodunit, Murder on Lake Garda, came unexpectedly wouldn’t quite be doing it justice. When I first happened on the seed of an idea, I was actually well into working on a completely different novel, involving a

      What Kansas City lacks in ocean views and crumbling old-world charm, it might make up for with a wide-open emptiness that practically begs to be filled. It’s all potential here. The post Writing My Way Home appeared first on The Millions.
