77th Street Requiem: A Maggie MacGowen Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Wendy Hornsby books are top notch
Review: I inhale mysteries, and am always needing to find new authors to read, because my favorites simply don't write them as fast as I can read them! I found Wendy Hornsby when I was browsing in the library, and picked up one book to 'sample'. It was so good, I've read every one of her Maggie McGowen novels, and also the two books written about her other heroine Kate (forgot last name). I recommend these books highly. They are good novels as well as good mysteries, with well drawn mature characters, believable emotions, and a storyline which continues from one novel to the next. If you like Sue Grafton and Marcia Muller and Lawrence Block, start reading Wendy Hornsby!

Summary: ABSOLUTEY TERRIFIC. REALLY GETS INSIDE THE L.A MOTIF
Review: RARELY DO I READ A MYSTERY THAT BRINGS BACK SUCHMEMORIES AS THIS BOOK DOES ; I LIVED IN L.A.DURINGTHE PERIOD OF TIME DESCRIBED IN MS. HORNSBY,S BOOK AND I ALSO FOUND HER DEPICTIONS OF THE ROMANTIC SC ENES BETWEEN HER MATURE CHARACTERS VERY REAL AND HONEST. AS A NEW FAN THE MAGGIE MCGOWAN ARE JUST RIGHT UP OUR CONTEMPORARY ALLEY.
