Actually, I reviewed SAND DOLLARS for Mystery News, and it
wasn't
favorable. Lynn Kaczmarek held it out of the March/April
issue because
she either had enough reviews already, or I savaged the book
too much.
Won't go into much detail, but I'm frankly amazed that you
would put
John Caine in the Top Five, much less the Top Ten list of
PIs!
