Heh i finished Killing of the Tinkers recently. Nice to see another fan of Bruen !
Do you like Bruen and Jack Taylor books ? I love reading his special writing style and the dark but funny stories of Jack Taylor. More of dark novel than crime books that series.
I read him only this month for the first but i devoured Guards and Tinkers book. Guards beated it to my top 10 reads.
Good to see Lehane best book of Kenzie/Gennaro series too in the list.
I have read all the Jack Taylor books aside from the most recent one... Cross I think. The books ARE very dark and kinda remind me of Chandler in that they are less about the mystery "plot" and more about the protagonist and his moral strivings and failings. Sometimes it gets a bit over the top, but always fascinating.
The Lehane books are among my all-time favs!
