More people should read Allyn

I discovered Allyn last year from his excellent book "The Burning of Rachael Hayes," and promptly ordered his backlist. Allyn is a wonderful writer who knows how to create interesting characters you'd like to know, a sense of place you'd like to visit, dialogue you can hear and a plot in which you become involved. I particularly appreciate that he doesn't fall into the stereotypical small-town police chief, and included a well-done twist at the end. I will admit that this book was not quite as good as "Icewater Mansions," the first in the Mitch Mitchell series, but that's being really picky.

Excellent Northern Michigan Mystery

The second Mitch Mitchell mystery is every bit as good as the first with very atmospheric Northern Michigan settings, a Ross MacDonald-style plot about greed and depravity in a rich family, and a tough, appealing female detective who is free of the Chandleresque pretentions of Sara Paretsky types.Great stuff, great series.
