Hi Neil,
It's great to have you back on the
list, and you're right about Crais. He has finally become a
writer worth reading. He has always been talented, but he
chose to copy the worst aspects of a guy who had lost his
way.
Parker's commercial success (and that
of Crais) demonstates that there is a market for tales of a
self-absorbed, PC sensitive, sanctimonious detective, but the
new Crais material (LA Req. & Angel) is the first stuff
he's done that hits me as original and real.
