Your insights and the comments from the author were very useful. I mind blood and high body counts less in a book than in a movie. Thanks for this review. And hope your trip is going well.TracyKhttp://bitterteaandmystery.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-74162034455955527462013-02-15T02:11:05.668-06:002013-02-15T02:11:05.668-06:00Leighton: Thank you.

When I left a week ago there was over a meter of snow in my yard. However, I am currently sitting on a lovely beach in Hawaii for a couple of weeks.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-32332814498318617472013-02-13T10:00:12.657-06:002013-02-13T10:00:12.657-06:00Thank you, Bill, for taking the time and trouble t...Thank you, Bill, for taking the time and trouble to review BLOOD OF THE WICKED.<br />I think you'll find that the books that follow are less "graphic" in terms of violence -- and body counts DO diminish. Also, the humor content goes up. To see the sharp contrast between "then" and "now", you might want to jump ahead to "A VINE IN THE BLOOD", which can be read as a standalone. And then, if you like that, go back to BURIED STRANGERS, which you should read prior to DYING GASP, because there is a particularly disagreeable character who first appears in the former who continues on into the latter. And remember that guy Muniz, the rich landowner in BOTW.<br />He's back in PERFECT HATRED, the book I launch in the US and Canada on the 19th of February.<br />Must be kinda cold in your neck of the woods at this time of year, eh?<br />Here, in SP it's a balmy 28 Celsius. But rainy.Leighton Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788807904434180290noreply@blogger.com
