Fresh Kills by Bill Loehfelm

November 7, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of cbr14 bingo: birds. There are birds on the cover of the book. Bill Loehfelm is a writer that deserves to be celebrated more than he is. I remember picking up The Devil She Knows more out of curiosity than excitement. I wanted to see how Loehfelm would bring Staten Island to life. What I got instead was one of the best crime novels I’ve read the last few years. I got caught up in Maureen’s story. I followed her to New Orleans and while […]

The Devil She Knows by Bill Loehfelm

April 7, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

For the last 48 hours, I’ve been convinced that something was wrong with me, that the other shoe would drop and I would start thinking about this book differently. I picked it up because it’s the first in a series that was lauded by an author I like (although apparently he read others in the series and has yet to get to this one). The reviews on it were less than stellar but the premise hooked me: overworked bartender falls into political conspiracy Hitchock-style, has […]
