The essential mystery-reader's guide, 1 Dec 1997
By A Customer
OK, you know the drill: I love this book, it was a great read, it brought my family closer together, blah, blah, blah. Seriously folks, this book is different. This book could save your LIFE. I work in a bookstore, and in my line of work, I never can tell who the next person through the door will be. I stand behind the counter, and I don't know whether the next customer carries the bullet with my name on it. But I do know this: every customer comes armed with a question. For all I know, some lunatic may bust in, size me up for lead fillings, and shout, "Freeze, punk! What was the eighth Nero Wolfe novel, who's character is Doc Ford, and what book do I have to buy to get James Grady's short story, Kiss the Sky?" Now, if I were unprepared, I'd be worm food, but because I have Detecting Men, I can shout back, "Over My Dead Body, Randy Wayne White, and Unusual Suspects!" as I dive for cover. Mollified with info, he heads back to his basement apartment. I live to fight another day. Detecting Men. Because the life you save may be your own.
