The Very Bad ThingFeel free to visit my Goodreads author's page for all books at a glance. Great site!
My only novel published in the usual way is The Very Bad Thing (Viking Penguin, 1990), a book that had a tough time squeezing into any one genre, but was arguably a mystery. It’s set in Boston and features an unlikely detective hero in the throes of romantic crisis. My editor was alarmed that there was no dead body by page ten, and advised me that my hero drank too much, but so it was. Viking released the book in both hard cover and paperback, but it didn't sell quite enough to warrant a sequel. Very good reviews, though. You can still find copies in hardcover and paper through used booksellers and Amazon.com. |
