Book Review: Flipping Out by Marshall Karp

I just finished Marshall Karp's FLIPPING OUT. A great weekend read with enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages fast-fast-fast, with no bitter aftertaste.(Marshall, like James Patterson, used to be an adman.) It's better than sex! Better than Scotch! Better than a big tax refund! Okay, maybe I went a little over the top, but it will keep you in suspense and in stitches from the first page to the last. Great entertainment.

The Prosecution Rests: New Stories About Courtrooms, Criminals and the Law edited by Linda Fairstein

I haven't read the book yet, but all the advanced reviews seem to be outstanding. Publisher's weekly had this to say:  "Fairnstein has put together a stellar anthology..." With the late, great Edward Hoch contributing a short story and the likes of James Grippando, Barbara Parker and Joel Goldman also contributing, it is sure to be a winner.  This is a Mystery Writers of America Anthology and each one in the series has been excellent. I'm sure this one will continue the trend. Not available until April 14,  I'm going to be one of the first to get a copy.
