Mystery

You are currently viewing Mystery

I’ve read some of the popular writers: ha. They call that writing? Formula pablum. Even Mr. Fancy Tony Hillerman. The only good mysteries are from Florida writers or Europeans. Maybe a couple

others, a couple Britishers, but they never did anything for me.

Florida/Euro mysteries are good because they’re modern, gritty, realistic

and smart, they push the envelope. They’re better fiction than most fiction.

Who cares about the crime at hand. See what socialism has done to us. How

are we to be civilized in the face of modernism? Watch a few good guys try

to tough it out and be stand-up guys in the face of this. Carl Hiassen,

James Lee Burke, John D. MacDonald, Charles Willeford, Lawrence Shames,

and Elmore Leonard are the cornerstone of the Florida guys. (They don’t

really have to be from Florida. It’s a *style* don’t you know. Get it while

it’s hot.)

Nicholas Freeling (Dutch), Simenon (French), Skjowal-Wahloo (Scandy)

are the Euros.

Your turn…
