I've read Chris's previous novel MURDER BEHIND THE CLOSET DOOR which is a richly evocative portrait of South Jersey in the 70s, with some detours to previous decades, combining murder mystery with mundane but somehow magical daily life on the shore. He has a real gift for detail when it comes to characterization and setting, creating people, situations and places vividly and eloquently. It is also just plain entertaining. I really look forward to this new book, not only because of the subject matter, which is right up my alley, but because Chris is an accomplished author worth following.
