Jane asked James L. Thane:

Are your crime novels very descriptive when discussing the body/ies? I love a good who 'did do it' but not so much about the crime scene itself as far as grizzly details are concerned.

James L. Thane I have two traditional mystery novels, CROSSROADS, which is set in the Flathead Valley in Montana just south of Glacier National Park, and my newest book, TYNDALL, which will be released on November 2. Neither of them has any grizzly details. My four Sean Richardson novels, NO PLACE TO DIE, UNTIL DEATH, FATAL BLOW, and SOUTH OF THE DEUCE, are police procedurals and they do have some graphic descriptions of crime scenes, but still not as grizzly as a lot of other medium-to-hard-boiled novels.
