In this morning's Washington Post, Patrick Anderson reviewed John
Harvey's Cold in Hand, featuring the return of his series character
Charlie Resnick
(www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/14/
AR2008091402406.html).
In the course of the review, Anderson say that Harvey's "Resnick books
were widely viewed as the best police procedurals ever written in
England." Are they that good? Should they be read in order? Is
Bleeding Hearts the first? I think I have that around here somewhere.
What about Bill James? I seem to remember some recommendations of him
around these parts. And I know Jim really likes Wainwright, John, I
think. How do they measure up?
