Bluff Walk: A John McAlister Mystery

I really could not put this one down. The best mystery I've read in a while, possibly ever. Crawford really captures the heart of Memphis in his novel. If you are from there this is a must-read, but if you're not, he'll make you feel like you are. This book will keep you up all night, and there's another one on the way. Enjoy!

John Grisham, though clearly the most successful, was not the first writer to set his novels in a Memphis background. Peter Taylor did so several times, and others have done likewise. Now comes Charles Crawford, Memphis lawyer and writer, with his protagonist, detective John Macalister, who walks us through some of the more illegal and erotic happenings in the Bluff City. It's a fast paced and well written book that you will probably finish in 2 or 3 sittings, and there is a sequel on the way. Good stuff!
