My library is well-stacked; The Lincoln Lawyer is part of the collection. When I'm not reading it (e.g., Grisham), I'm watching it (True Detective Season 3 - can't wait to see TD 4 with Jodie Foster). Currently reading Howdunit by the Detection Club - mixed-length 'essays' from 90 of its crime writers past and present.

Fantastic picks. I'll check out Howdunit.

Yes, I'm enjoying it. Bosch was my favourite detective watch last year - I'll watch anything that's good detective. I've tried to use 'hard boiled' elements in my own crime stories but never quite get there. I (think I) got close to it in when I wrote a novel about a 'famous' fictional detective getting shot in his time and time travelling to the future ('cause I like putting detectives in sci-fi contexts) but he wakes up as a woman; hard to write but fun. I like what you're doing with Eli Ridge.

Happy reading, Robert! You might like The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Thanks for weighing in.
