DESCRIPTION:
Envy The Night is everything this kind of novel is meant to be. It has been a long time since I've enjoyed a mystery novel as much as Envy The Night. A more fitting title: Envy The Writer. I have seen the future of "The Best Mystery Writer in America" and its name is Michael Koryta. But we come to novels to meet fresh faces, and Michael Koryta delivers.

I have read all four of his books and like one reviewer said, he just keeps getting better. I won't write a synopsis because the other reviewers have done such as excellent job as well as outlining why this book is a "must" for crime/thriller readers. It is not only a believable scenario, but incorporates tension, humor, good characterization, etc. It is highly touted by such well known authors as Ridley Peason, Michael Connelly and George Pelecanos. Please give this author his due as he se. Taut mystery with a surprise ending Kindle Customer Thomas This was another great book by the author.
