Fact. Late Rain is a brilliant piece of writing that most crime writers today couldn't pull off with a gun to their heads. I'm rereading Late Rain for the second time and have used markers to highlight passages that are poetic/poignant and just wonderful to read. The state of the publishing world these days is more than sad (not enough readers, ebooks, the economy, etc.), but writing like Kostoff's is undeniable. A gem is right.Charlieoperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876755029099726686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355259901837740310.post-41420027119187760462010-05-31T02:47:28.048-04:002010-05-31T02:47:28.048-04:00Is Kostoff really in the same league as Pinckney B...Is Kostoff really in the same league as Pinckney Benedict?

He refuses the temptation to be formulaic and perhaps pays the price in the sales department.Nate Flexerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538010257279679797noreply@blogger.com
