Book Overview

"The classic trifecta of talent, heart, and a bone-deep sense of storytelling....A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind."
-- David Wroblewski

"A new Tom Franklin novel is always a reason to get excited, but Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is more--a cause for celebration. What a great novel by a great novelist."

Customer Reviews

First Tom Franklin novel and was very surprised and I loved it.

I like to keep reviews simple not to spoil for anyone. My first Tom Franklin novel. I love detective, crime noir, mysteries. James Lee Burke, Ross MacDonald, John MacDonald, Robert B Parker, all over the spectrum, I love heroes, puzzles, thick plots. This story started a bit slow for me but I still could not put it down. The characters, writing different than I am used to more plain and direct. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Was I surprised within the story and I love to be surprised in books I read, predicting characters deeds or not I prefer surprise. Anyway I highly reocmmend, I always buy hardcovers, paperbacks hard to hold open and print so tiny. I usually read my two times.
