• Lashner at his best
  Killer's Kiss is William Lashner's seventh Victor Carl novel, and it's one of his best. This time Carl is caught in the middle of the murder of his ex-fiance's husband.

  If you're a fan of the old noir mystery genre, books that begin with the entrance of the sexy dame with a secret, A Killer's Kiss should please.

I've enjoyed everyone of the Victor Carl books and this may be my favorite of all of them. The only regret I have is that Lashner is going to "shelve" Victor for the time being so he can create other story lines After all ... Patterson leaves Cross for awhile; Deaver leaves Rhyme someimes; Lippman writes of someone other than Tess occasionally ... so... more info
