The Tattered Cover was a great bookstore. I could spend hours there. I miss bookstores terribly. I can’t adapt to digital books and don’t want to. I love real books, turning real pages too much. I order real books on Amazon now. But I miss looking for treasures at a book sale. It was a great pastime I’ve been robbed of!
Collateral Crimes is the best crime thriller Ive read in years. Its a riveting, fast-moving, well-crafted page turner that had me hooked from the beginning. I especially enjoyed the geographical settings that take place in rural and the wilderness of Arizona's rugged Sierra Ancha Mountains where the climax of the story takes place. Yochim demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the places he writes about. I've been to those locales many times and the author's accuracy is spot on. Readers should keep in mind Yogi Berras sage advice, It aint over til its over.
