2. ‘Judge-Sicle’ Murder Mystery Thrills to the End - Thursday, January 31, 2013

How could I not read the latest David Rosenfelt novel, “Airtight?” How could I not?! The author’s very publicist himself sent me an advance reading copy, asking that I do so. That, plus the book starts out with the murder of a judge, and I obviously want that case cracked, right?

7. Author Rosenfelt as Witty as His Novel’s Characters - Thursday, February 02, 2012

In the last two columns, I’ve let it be known that I am reading the novels of David Rosenfelt in order. I’ve provided teaser-type blurbs for the first five: “Open and Shut,” “First Degree,” “Bury the Lead,” “Sudden Death” and “Dead Center.” Since last week’s column, I’ve read No. 6, “Play Dead” (2007), and started “New Tricks” (2009).

8. Just Keep Reading - Thursday, January 19, 2012
