Dug Boston out to see what I thought about the stories and realized that I only read the Lehane, the O'Nan and Brendan DuBois. Also have Boston Noir The Classics 2, which includes works of Robert B. Parker, Joyce Carol Oates and George Higgins. I'm with you and Jeff about the unevenness in most of the books, but no doubt the next time I see one I don't have at a sale I'll buy. And we have two big hospital sales next week.
