November reviews

A slow month for reviews, but a good quality month of reading. Very difficult to pick a book of the month between Vanilla Ride and Small Crimes as both will be in my top ten reads of the year. I'm going to go with Small Crimes. Vanilla Ride is a blast and Hap and Leonard a hoot, but Small Crimes kind of rattles round in the memory and has a great end. We're splitting hairs here.

The Samaritan's Secret by Matt Beynon Rees ***.5
Vanilla Ride by Joe Lansdale *****
I, The Jury by Mickey Spillane ***.5
Killer Country by Mike Nicols ***.5
Enough is Enough by Fintan O'Toole ****
Small Crimes by Dave Zeltserman *****
