His taste in mysteries leans more toward noir and hardboiled. I've noticed that he and I seldom prefer the same fiction, but we tend to like the same non-fiction.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-21093517063993784572020-05-20T12:20:06.783-07:002020-05-20T12:20:06.783-07:00It's the courtroom dialogues that I love if th...It's the courtroom dialogues that I love if they're written well.<br /><br />In the Turow interview with Barbara Peters, he mentioned Michael Connelly's Mickey Haller's courtroom scenes as being excellent.<br /><br />I watched an interview with Ivy Pochoda and Patrick (doesn't know his last name) last night and it was a bit strange; they discussed serial killers (real ones) in Los Angeles and a lot of violent happenings there.

You prob...A very nice photo. Thanks for the links.<br />You probably know that Scott Turow's latest legal mystery, "The Last Trial," was just published. Can't wait to read it. He is a terrific legal mystery writer.<br />Just as good is the interview with him by Barbara Peters posted at the Poisoned Pen website. I just saw it, just superb and at times, quite funny. Turow's characters even surprise him!<br />I highly recommend watching this video, and now I feel like all I could be doing is catching up on the PP videos. That, tea, chocolate biscuits could keep me going for months. But what a way to spend time.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-82296871824313685392020-05-16T14:04:10.430-07:002020-05-16T14:04:10.430-07:00I remember getting fogged out of the drive-in once...I remember getting fogged out of the drive-in once.

Of course, back when the drive-in was the place to go on the weekends, there'd be trucks roaming the neighborhoods spraying huge clouds of DDT in an attempt to keep the mosquito population down. It's a wonder we're still alive. Another reason why I'm staying home is... AIR CONDITIONING!

Virtual author events - yes, I can see those becoming more common and also makes them less expensive for the bookstore. If they could just figure out how to get the books signed - ha! I also can't believe the thing about the drive-in theaters! I certainly remember those, but in our part of the world, summer movie watching at the drive-in came with lots of mosquito bites.
