About Leave a Good-Looking Corpse: a T. R. Macdonald Thriller
Review "James R. Preston's Surf City Mysteries feature non-detective detective T.R. Macdonald, a Wall Street wizard whose personal brokenness, intellectual rigor and sense of rightness are the necessary tools for revealing an Orange County that is far darker than our local real estate promoters would like us to know."Preston's fans get his talent. They call Surf City Mysteries addictive, engaging, and spellbinding. They sometimes note that the series is darkly funny. I worry that they miss the one quality that makes them really great and terrifying: they're true." -- Will Swaim, Founding Editor/Publisher, OC Weekly Product Description It isn't every day that a wet, bleeding man leads the hostess into her party at gunpoint . . .not even in Hollywood and this was Orange County, home of Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and the Crystal Cathedral. Hell, even our baseball team is the Angels.
