BOOK REVIEW – High Fidelity by Nick Hornby I had never heard of Nick Hornby before I read this book. The book’s film adaptation has been one of my favorites for decades. It disappointed me when the book was so different. Now, before you get fired up and say they’re always different., I know this … Continue reading The Knucklehead Report – Issue #1
Book Review: Coronado (Short Story Collection) by Dennis Lehane My first book from Dennis Lehane was Mystic River. Nervously, I bought a few more books from him. I was nervous because I had purchased and read books by other authors who fed my written word addiction several times. Now, some addicts read whatever they get … Continue reading The Knucklehead Report – Issue #3
BOOK REVIEW – THE COLD DISH BY CRAIG JOHNSON Photo courtesy of Amazon.com Some time ago, I ranted about the state of the modern Western genre.

Perhaps it is nothing more than my friends making fun of me for having a “thick book” and how it coincided with … Continue reading The Knucklehead Report – Issue #8
BOOK REVIEW – THE DELICATE STORM BY GILES BLUNT I enjoy reading detective novels because I see another author’s interpretation of the time-honored profession. Countless authors have explored the Homicide Detective. Blunt’s John Cardinal is a complicated individual. However, Cardinal’s nature adds tension to the plot. Although his methodic slow grind gnaws at your patience, … Continue reading The Knucklehead Report – Issue #9
Book Review — House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz I have been a Sherlock Holmes fan for as long as I can remember. It was the idea of being the most intelligent person in the room, or it was the ability to solve the most puzzling situations. I was under no delusions I would ever be as good … Continue reading The Knucklehead Report – Issue #10
