Notable People: Steve Hamilton
Title: Stolen Season
Review: Hamilton is the absolute bomb when it comes to murder mysteries set in remoter and eccentric places. This is the sixth in thus series featuring retired cop and minor league baseball great , Alex McKnight…who is a classic book noir type of hero harking back to the strong silent types of yesteryear. Nothing shockingly original in these archetypes, but the story lines carry a wallop (and are often surprising enough to really catch you off guard), there are a series of wonderful regular characters, and Hamilton is a damn good writer…..for any genre. Doesn’t hurt that the Michigan UP and the “ Soo” (look it up) are fascinating habitats to explore. Would be a great winter night read.
