Hurwitz has written one of the stand-out books of the summer, combining great writing, memorable characters and white-knuckle suspense. He’s also crafted a story that uses the city of Los Angeles to beautiful effect. The Crime Writer is not just the best novel this author has written; it would take top rank on many writers' resumes.

Wow--good to hear--it just arrived today.
David, I really enjoy your recommendations. Your taste seems to correlate to mine. Based on your review, I even read a book I never would have picked up in a million years--Prayers for the Assassin--and enjoyed it. I rely on your judgments.
