“Like most of us, he had a large blind spot about his own faults.”

Peter Lovesey, Showstopper
Sally Murphy McDonald
“I read that Peter Lovesey has said if he could make a living from short stories he would be delighted to write nothing else. His mystery novels are great but I love his short stories. They are very original, and clever. Always surprising and a whole lot of fun.”
