    CanvaA water tower in a small American town seen at sunsetSmall-town crime is big. There’s never been a time when readers of mystery and crime novels didn’t like stories in rustic and rural settings. James M. Cain’s 1934 crime novel “The Postman Always Rings Twice”was grabbed up by readers — and banned in Boston — for its torrid story of a murderous affair in a roadside California town. Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot solved a murder in a small town in“The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” back in 1926.

    Carpe diem. That’s good advice: grab an opportunity immediately when you spot it. Don’t wait, make it happen. Even the Romans knew that embracing the moment, wringing everything out of this time, not fretting about the future was the way to live now. Seize the day, as in the new book “Small Town Sins” by Ken Jaworowski, before the opportunity is gone. kAm}2E92? $E@=EK H2D E96 <:?5 @7 8FJ E92E @E96C A6@A=6 C2C6=J ?@E:465]k^AmkAmp? @?=J 49:=5[ 96’5 2=H2JD =:G65 @?

My gosh, this hurts. Ken Bruen was a masterly writer, and an incredibly kind soul. He blurbed my first novel -- a rookie who emailed him out of the blue -- and took still more time to offer me heartfelt advice. Please read him if you haven't. https://t.co/jx3iZ40OVd
