I felt a similar thing about Alafair Burke. My one time reading her was a disappointment overall, so I've given her a miss subsequently.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-40869754658826149332020-02-18T19:49:17.484-08:002020-02-18T19:49:17.484-08:00I do have Peter Steiner's Le Crime, under anot...I do have Peter Steiner's Le Crime, under another title.

I'll be honest and say I've not (yet) read Peter Leonard's writing. In some ways, I very much want to; in others, though, I don't want to compare them, if that makes sense.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
