Pocket Sized Books in a Pocket Sized Post

Peter Rozovsky at Detectives Beyond Borders reviews Allan Guthrie's KILLING MUM. The book is the latest in the Crime Express series from the lovely people at Five Leaves Publishing. What a good idea this is. A series of novellas costing £4.99 each (about the same as one of those crap celebrity magazines). Small, glossy and perfectly formed (and that's just Al Guthrie). Others in the series are Ray Banks' GUN, John Harvey's TROUBLE IN MIND, Stephen Booth's CLAWS, Clare Littleford's THE QUARRY, Rod Duncan's THE MENTALIST, Lawrence Block's SPEAKING OF LUST, and Nicola Monaghan's THE OKINAWA DRAGON. Great stuff.
