Oh, nice!

One of Portland’s great independent bookstores, Murder By The Book, was kind enough to host a reading and signing event for me in July. Now, according to its Web site, “Crashers” is No. 2 on its bestseller list for hardcover novels! Woo hoo!

The list is a nice one to make: Craig Johnson’s “Junkyard Dogs,” Carola Dunn’s “A Colourful Death,” Tana French’s “Faithful Place” and Larry Karp’s “Ragtime Fool.”

That’s good company to keep.

If you haven’t already, check out Murder By the Book, 3210 S.E. Hawthorne. But be warned: It’s addictive.
