I have been slowing down in all areas lately, but I do try to catch up now and then.)TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-77970710624100853992014-07-22T22:43:19.006-07:002014-07-22T22:43:19.006-07:00Prashant, it's not a book that would appeal to...Prashant, it's not a book that would appeal to everyone. I do like the kind of book where large elements of the cast are outsiders living their life in the margins where crime and criminality is a way of life, as opposed to the everyday law abiding types, where the crime is committed as an out of the ordinary act, col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-57134417727078404102014-07-22T22:26:24.233-07:002014-07-22T22:26:24.233-07:00Col, this looks like the kind of book I'd slip...Col, this looks like the kind of book I'd slip in between the ones I'm usually comfortable reading.

I'll have to admit; it's not my sort of thing. But I'm glad you found yourself a 'winner.' It's always a treat to find a book that words really well.
