Winslow's Wife

Rating:
Summary: Patient reader rewarded
Review: After reading Chandler's Daughter a couple of years ago, I have been looking forward to Lexy Connor's next outing. I was not disappointed.

Lexy Connor is renaissance woman who happens to play detective from time to time -- usually at the insistence of someone in her vast circle of acquaintances. Although she has the tenacity essential to the successful detective, she also has the ability to enjoy the scenery -- and the comradeship -- while in pursuit.

Half the fun of a Lexy Connor story is her often wry comments on the situation, the protagonists, and herself. Her creator has the ability to evoke a clear, and often chuckle-worthy, image of a minor character with half a dozen words.

Unfortunately, I now have to start waiting again -- not for quite so long this time, I trust.

Summary: Truly hits another home run
Review: I enjoyed this one even more than Chandler's Daughter. I was already hooked on Truly's prose. It pulls you in and keeps you interested. And I liked the characters.

When's the next one coming out?
