PRO reviews?

[easol.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm a bit curious -- what kind of professional reviews does LKH get? As in, from newspapers, genre mags, zines?

I know amazon (which often doesn't mirror the pro tastes) is basically filled with A) snarkers, B) troos, and C) people who consider this literary baloney on white bread, and read it because they aren't too demanding.

So has anyone seen professional reviews for LKH's books, and do they tend to be positive, "hateful" or sort of middle-of-the-road? (Particularly in St. Louis?)

(PS, on a slightly OT note, the ghastly "Talia Gryphon" is coming out with a sequel to that ghastly book)

And those intense mysteries often get sacrificed for the humor just as much as LKH's mysteries get sacrificed for sex.

I read SP more for humour than the mystery (if I wanted hardcore mysteries I'd read Agatha Christie or something) so I don't see how that's a problem. Unlike LKH's sex, the comedy is actually done well (although LKH's sex is quite comedic). The book is marketed as a crime/comedy and I think it contains enough of both to merit the genre labels. LKH on the other hand...
