"The Corpse Had A familiar Face"

"The Corpse Had A Familiar Face" is Pulitzer Prize winning author Edna Buchanan's autobiography recounting her 18 years as a reporter working the police beat for the Miami Herald.  I've read the first two books in her Britt Montero mystery series and reading this book gives me a hint as to where she got the ideas for her fictional mysteries.

Buchanan's autobiography is a fascinating read by itself -- as good as any novel.  One of the keys to her reporting was in the details -- details that bring victims to life and help them be remembered.  She also has a great sense of humor.

I look forward to reading the rest of her fictional books, too, and just ordered the third Britt Montero mystery delivered to my Kindle.  pazt
