Here is the handout for our Bouchercon Panel about our favorite recent books and a few oldies. Three of the panelists are associated with Deadly Pleasures (George Easter, Larry Gandle and Meredith Anthony). Oline Cogdill is a nationally-syndicated reviewer and J. (Jeff) Kingston Pierce is the webmaster/blogger of the Rap Sheet.

The panel went very well. I especially enjoyed the banter between Larry Gandle and myself. It goes without saying that I was also interested in the panelists’ choices.
