Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

Praise for David Handler's mystery novels

The Hot Pink Farmhouse:
"The author's skill at depicting everyone from young children to aging adults and investing his characters with delightful quirks or grievous flaws makes this a superior read. The romance between Des and Mitch, an ill-kept secret in tiny Dorset, and bits of film trivia woven smoothly into the narrative add zest."--Publishers Weekly

"The style in this book is smooth with tightly woven scenes and believable dialogue. Hangtown Frye is a uniquely lovable character...who stays true to himself throughout the whole novel. I recommend this book if you are looking for an enthralling read."--Mystery News

The Cold Blue Blood:
:"The Cold Blue Blood is the beginning of what looks to be a swell series. Berger and Mitry are wonderfully drawn characters, and the author has depicted Connecticut so splendidly it seems the most fascinating state in the Union. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to David Handler."
--Susan Isaacs, author of Compromising Positions and Long Time No See

"This book is a true delight. Chock full of wry observation and propelled by a compelling plot, The Cold Blue Blood is classic Handler. As for characters Berger and Mitry...they better come back and visit again; they're the best buddy team to come along in years."
--Jeffery Deaver, author of The Blue Nowhere and The Empty Chair

"Mitch is a terrific character, full of passion and sensitivity...The New York color is perfectly rendered, as is the Connecticut salt. Here's hoping for many more stories of Des and Mitch."
--Booklist

"Can a tough African-American cop with a soft spot for feral cats find happiness with a nice Jewish boy who says he does his best work in the dark? Here's hoping that Handler...explores this question in more first-rate puzzlers."--Kirkus Reviews

"Definitely an odd-couple team we look forward to seeing more of in future installments of this delightful new series."-Denver Post
