"Books to Die For is . . . as good a collection of short essays on
crime fiction as one is likely to find."--Washington Post Book
Review
"Books to Die For will thrill the individual mystery lover as much
as it will prove an essential reference for the shelves of lending
libraries. A vast, comprehensive undertaking, it is that rare breed
of anthology of interest to both the initiated and the newcomer.
Indeed, like the ideal mystery novel itself, this is a page-turner
with an addictive quality."--Irish Examiner
"A sumptuous exploration of some of the best mystery authors of our
time . . . Books to Die For is a resource readers will want to keep
for decades."--The News Tribune
