Another review of “Entanglement: A Johnny Denovo Mystery,” is in, and this one is as glowing as the first. This new review is especially nice because the reviewer in question — someone I’ve never met, unfortunately — has reviewed all three novels, so provides both a nice review of the current novel but also [...]

The new Johnny Denovo Mystery, entitled “Entanglement,” began inauspiciously with an idea I had years ago.
