BookSpotCentral is pleased to announce a new contest. Duane Swierczynski’s The Blonde. Here is my review.

Greg Rucka:

“Delicious modern punk rock hard-boiled storytelling.”

Laura Lippman wrote:

“A hilarious nail-biter, a tour de force.”

Joe R. Lansdale wrote:

“”Lean as a starving model, mean as a snake, fast as a jet. This guy has got to be the hottest new thing in crime fiction.”"

Washington Post wrote:

“A slice of bittersweet noir… [Swierczynski's] knowledge of both the City of Brotherly Love and the mind-set of bank robbers helps make The Wheelman the delight it is.“

Booklist wrote:

“Adrenaline-charged… fast moving and funny.”

Philadelphia Inquirer wrote:

“Clearly the work of a maturing writer who is possessed of a keen style and abundant talent.”

Rocky Mountain News wrote:

“Dark stuff… hilariously funny.”

Ed Gorman wrote:

“A profoundly psychotic hilarious whodunit fantasy.”

Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune wrote:

“The kind of stuff that makes Miss Marple look like a Girl Scout.”

Open to all FBS Members.

How do you Win?

Send me a PM with The Blonde as the subject and you are entered.

Please feel free to post your favorite blonde joke here in this thread. Don’t work too blue in this room though as we reserve the right to delete any unnecessarily vulgar jokes. I mean after all this isn’t the Laugh Factory

Thank you to St. Martin’s Minotaur.
