Reviews For The Next Time You Die
Complex, interesting characters [and] relentless narrative drive. Compelling reading.
Hunsicker is a slick, smooth writer and Oswald is a great noir character.
Hunsicker has a wonderfully ironic sense of Dallas society and an even funnier take on those pretensions.
Hunsicker provides solid characterizations and great descriptions. You can almost feel the sweat off of the brows or see the drops of blood as they splatter.
Lee Henry Oswald should earn Dallas a colored pushpin on the wisecracking-gumshoe map.
