Vicki -
Thank you for bringing this up. This a great topic to noodle
and it's interesting to see that you (our expert of the
month) grapples with this as well.
>From the perspective of a non-writer who reads tons
of hardboiled and noir,
there are times when I prefer the latest from Michael
Connelly or Val McDermid simply because I know I'll be lost
in the manic twists and turns they are so great at including
in their books. This is not damning with faint praise as I
also think they creat terrific characters . But the
experience of reading one of their books is certainly
different than reading, say, Blood Meridian or even The Last
Good Kiss.
