The Resource  Unknown Label

Description: Jan Burke writes across the mystery genre, from amateur sleuth suspense to supernatural thrillers and police procedural novels, and has received a number of the genre's top honors. She is best known for the long-running Irene Kelly series, following that reporter as she investigates cases in a noir-tinged southern California. Burke's characters, major and minor, are well-developed, with nuanced and complex relationships. Dialogue amongst them is thoughtful and well-voiced. Violence is explicit yet sensitively handled, showing the real weight of its aftermath. The plotting of her mysteries is clever and action-packed, guided by her sardonic and well-honed prose. Start with: Goodnight, Irene
