"The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn't just rip from the headlines. She's one step ahead of them. 212 scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours."
— Harlan Coben

A Comment on My Driving
Friday, October 17, 2008
 Author Jonathan Hayes, who graced my passenger seat on the way down to Bouchercon last weekend, has this to say about my driving: "Alafair is, to be frank, certifiably psychotic at the wheel, her need for speed almost carnal in its urgency. The combination of high speed daredevil manoeuvres (at one point, she drove under a semi just so she could slam us up the ramp of an empty car transporter trailer, shooting us up about 20 feet high, hurtling through the air to land squarely 8 inches in front of the black Tahoe that had irritated Alafair by dawdling in front of her for a good two minutes). (Seriously.)."
He is so totally exaggerating.

That's a little eerie...I'm getting ready to put Precious Blood in my stereo TODAY! I just picked it up from the library last night. I read his post over at Read Street during B-Con and HAD to have the book. Hopefully this humor is present in the book as well...
Note to self, bring helmet and pads if car pooling with Alafair..
I object! That was a *journalistic* account of a bracing, (but, one suspects, typical) day on the road with Alafair! I noticed this morning that my hair has started to turn white...
Jen, I'm afraid that "Precious Blood" is not really a laff riot, but it does have other strengths.
