One good turn deserves another, so here is a quick review of James Ellroy’s LA Confidential.
Even if you saw the movie, read LA Confidential. The book is very, very good, even better than the movie.
The Big Nowhere (video review)
James Ellroy is one of my favorite novelists and his book, The Big Nowhere is near the top of the list when it comes to detective/crime fiction. Here’s a brief video review.
If you’re looking to read one the great stories of the past century, look into Ellroy’s “LA Quartet” as it has come to be know. It begins with The Black Dahlia, moves on to The Big Nowhere, continues with LA Confidential, and wraps up with White Jazz. I’ll be reviewing the other books soon here at the video blog.
Silence of… (video book review)
Here’s a brief video book review of Silence of the Grave, by Arnaldur Indridason. This is the second book in the series featuring Inspector Erlendur, who is a brooding, detached man working to solve crimes and hold on to his estranged family.
I’m going to read the next book in this series and report on it when complete.

Faithful Place, video review
I just finished reading Tana French’s novel, Faithful Place. Here’s my video review.
I recommend this book for those of you who want to rise above the typical murder mystery. The family drama as well as the location add greater depth and dimension to the genre. Keep reading!
