I keep hoping for a "local" crime fiction somewhere set in my vicinity where I have a familiarity with the locale and the people - I've not found it yet. <br />I've not read too much from your neck of the woods I'm afraid - Annette Dashofy's Circle of Influence (a great book) is the only one I can recall. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-17132007216121004432016-01-05T04:10:29.854-08:002016-01-05T04:10:29.854-08:00These sound like good reads,Col.

I lived not very far from Villanova for a number of years, and it's always nice to read stories that take place in Pennsylvania. The stories sound interesting, too; I hope you'll like them, and I'll be keen to know what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
