A manic-depressive novel, full of sound and fury...
...and signifying NOTHING. I am an avid fan of mystery novels, and I must say that it is books like this that give our genre a bad name. Predictable in both randomness and meaninglessness, On the Edge is nowhere near the cutting edge of mystery novels.

On The Edge
I read about 75 books a year by such authors as James Lee Burke,Michael Connelly,and many others. I read this book in two sittings and enjoyed it from start to finish.I hope there will be more titles like this one in the near future.I give this book 5 STARS.

PHENOMENAL
One of the best books I've read in a long time. Once you start reading it, there's no putting it down.

Flip-flop from a flop.
What makes a good short story collection? They are hard to come by because the author is asking his or her reader to accompany them on not one but numerous tales. In some ways a short story collection can be more difficult than a novel, because one bad story might spoil the dozen. Such is not the case with Skin: Stories by literary novelist turned mystery writer, C.E. Poverman. These stories do not inspire, they do not entice, and they do not give any reason to continue on from page one to page two. The characters are caricatures, and the plots irrelevent.
