I am a big fan of Val's. She is so accessable and nice when
you meet her
in person, even if she were a boring, bad writer, you would
want to read
her books, just to have "another nice visit" with her. But
she is truly
one of my favorites who just doesn't publish often enough.
Her Kate
Brannigan books are really PI novels of the best caliber;
take place in
Manchester and she has a house (and boyfriend/house-mate) we
(at least
me) would all like to have. Her two newest ones (Mermaids ??
and Blood
in the Wire) certainly put that Cornwall dame to shame for
forensics and
psychological suspense. Mermaids Singing is about some gay
seriel
murders in London several years ago and introduce her
policeman and
psychologist. The Lindsey books about the reporter are
lesbian mystery
fiction, but so well-written you won't care.
