On my webpage you will find information on the Harris Mystery as well as links to other websites that are either a part of the Harris Mystery, or participants in the Harris Mystery Club on myspace. If it has been a while since you sunk your teeth into a delicious mystery that made your mind race, then welcome to the Harris Mystery. The difference between the Harris Mystery and other mysteries that you read about every day is that the Harris Mystery is REAL. Enjoy.

I see you are a Michael Malone fan ? I too like his mysteries. I had never heard of him till I went to a book signing of Richard Russo's. Russo recommended his books. I was not disappointed :>)

Loved Short History by Pearson!

BTW, one of our dogs is named Burke and one of our cats is Alafair...

Her third book introduces what I presume to be is a second protaganist, out of New York. Her first two books, featuring an Oregon attorney, were OK -- good enough for me to try Book 3, which actually was much better. NYC affords a richer tapestry and landscape for a crime, I think. But she doesn't yet have her father's power or range, if one can apply those descriptors to writing (can you tell I watched a bit of "American Idol" last night? Enjoy the day -- one day closer to spring!

I love the texture he provides; I can taste, feel and sense the bayou. No other writer is as vivid in describing the environment. He's a bit dark though:)
