: 01 Jun 2000 - DRAWING DEAD, Pete Hautman
I finally found a copy of this yesterday, and started it
after THE OUTFIT
(which I liked a lot). The blurbs call it a "rollicking crime
caper" and
"a romp," and Hautman is called "one of the most outrageously
entertaining crime writers of our time." So far it seems more
like a Carl Hiaasen book, which isn't bad, but which isn't
really hardboiled. Who was it that suggested this? Perhaps
they could comment.
I think after the next book, the Crais, I'll let the reading
list go idle for a while, perhaps until a good anthology can
be found. Not many people have been paying attention
recently, and we've worked through pretty much all the major
writers still in print.
