After I read Attica Locke’s The Cutting Season I decided I should go back and read Black Water Rising – before the next “Jay Porter” book is released and I’m glad I did. I don’t read a lot of suspense/mystery stuff (TW was surprised when I pulled this out of the library book return bag because I haven’t read it), not because I don’t like them but because they are so often series and those series can seem sort of redundant. (I won’t read James Patterson because once you’ve read three, you’ve read them all – at least that’s how I feel about it.)
I liked this story – I liked Jay Porter. I liked the Houston setting. I’m not sure I liked the early ‘80s time period, particularly since there’s going to be another book (and more after that, maybe?) Gas was $1.37 and expensive… Yes, I remember those days but it’s a nostalgia thing and causes me to roll my eyes a little now, (after paying $3.45 for gas yesterday.)
I’ll probably give her next Jay Porter book a try but odds are slim that I’ll keep reading if she keeps writing this particular series.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope
