The Elements of Mystery Fiction: Writing a Modern… di William G. Tapply
Good read to help you understand what goes into making a mystery novel. Although I think the writing advice would apply to almost any genre.
This is the first book by Tapply I have read and I am glad to have discovered this author through the goodreads reviews of author / reviewer James Thane.
Brady Coyne is an excellent character that has survived for a long time in the world of fiction. He seems to be a gentleman with a solid conscience and a quick wit. The plot of Follow the Sharks is interesting, with an intriguing story and some well made characters in addition to Brady. It moves at an optimum pace, and the descriptions of places, people and the action are very enjoyable.
This one is a fine book to spend a lazy weekend with, and I did just that.… (altro)

Rare stamps, lawyers, collectors, and experts. I thought I might have wandering into a Lawrence Block novel. Block, as we know, is a philatelist as is Keller, one of his characters. Tapply must be, too. I've always liked Tapply's books. They are often intricately plotted and populated with interesting characters. Eventually, I'll read all of them.
Good mystery. I didn't read the prior books, but that didn't seem to hurt at all. The twist with the real murder surprised me and really worked.
I liked that Brady read Moby Dick to put himself to sleep. I agree with his feelings about the chapter on whales' tails.
I would like to read the earlier books in the series.
