“What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police
procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the
British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those
agonizing decisions, because his books have it all.”

color and abundant humor, the latter springing from the book's

writing career spanning four decades, he has created a stylish and
varied body of work.”
