"Let It Ride" by John McFetridge

I'm currently reading John McFetridge's latest offering, "Let it Ride" and I am really, really digging it. I'll be posting a review when I finish it and so far, I'd say it is the best crime novel I have read this year, by far. If anyone is interested, it's available in print and ebook at all the usual outlets.

I downloaded mine from B&N for my nook at a reasonable price. John, is an author who seems to have embraced the electronic format, makes good use of it, and even offers some of his shorter pieces for free on Smashwords and other sites, which is how I found out about him.

* Update 12/13: Today, over at John's blog he posted some exciting news regarding the availabilty of the ebook version of his novel "Dirty Sweet". Details HERE

  4. Glenna- Cool. I just had an epiphany thanks to you. I have always wondered what v-word meant and was to timid to ask, thinking it was some secret game or something people in the know play. It is the verification word for commenting on blogs. I feel so empowered now and enlightened!!
