Kate Derie wants to know if there are

I thought Ring Game was his weakest I've read. There is
always a lot of humor in his books, but his first two, The
Drawing Dead and Short Money in order published, are much
grimmer. He reminds me a little of a Hiaasen, but he doesn't
have so many of the grotesgue elements at the end of his
books. Hie is less over the top. His characters are certainly
individual, but their wierdness and happenings don't escalate
into being unbelievable. When I joined this list I suggested
to Bill that he put The Drawing Dead on the reading list.
Obviously, I really like his books. If people haven't read
him, Short Money is a prequel to The Drawing Dead. Mark
