Thanks for sharing Barry. Sad news.

Wow. I know the name but never read any of his books. The article made me want to. Thanks for posting, Barry.

sad news. i saw that in the paper.

Carol:?I haven’t read a Tim Dorsey book yet either and always meant to. The premise that a “killer is a good guy mc” slightly turned me off ( Says the reader who liked Dexter) I lined up the first Serge book, Florida Roadkill on audio. I can get seven of his 26 in the ‘free’ plus catalog.

The first Dorsey I read was Hammerhead Ranch motel. The book seemed like a disconnected series of unusual events, until it suddenly all came together. The books do progress a bit though, if reading in order is what you desire.

Yes, that premise turned me off to Dexter. I think reading it might be easier. And these sound a little quirkier/more offbeat, which might ease the discomfort as well.

Very sad news. I thought the first three books in the series were quite entertaining.
