Straight Man is also my favorite Russo - it hilarious! I work in academia and it's always the first book I share with my fellow reading colleagues if they haven't read it yet. I was disappointed with his latest; I hope it's just a fluke. How did you get interested in Denise Hamilton if you don't usually read detective fiction? I saw her speak at an LA Public Library event where she interviewed the author of a book about Nancy Drew. Since Denice's books are set in LA and are very true to the setting and culture they are always interesting to read. I got a free copy of her latest when BookExpo was in town this summer, but it wasn't an Eve Diamond. I guess we'll have to wait until next year for another.
