SOFT TOUCH is superb, one of JDM's best books.
END OF THE NIGHT is IMO overwritten in spots, but generally
pretty great too.
ONE MORE SUNDAY is one of the rare books to tackle
evangelical Christianity maturely, and is probably the best
of JDM's soapier novels.
I really liked A KEY TO THE SUITE, I remember.
