Cool Detectives#18

Mar 21, 2025

Welcome to my new subscribers, and welcome back to everyone else! I’m doing something different about this issue by shipping it on time. :)

I’m doing other things to keep this shipping on time. However, I won’t say them out loud because I don’t want to jinx them.

For this issue, I’ll showcase the authors of modern hardboiled detectives.

Detectives and related

James Patterson, his official site.
He wrote many books and series, including the Alex Cross ones I mentioned.
Read about him, wonder if he sleeps.
Michael Connely, Official site.
He also wrote many books, including the Harry Bosch series I spoke about last week.

Remember I said the Marsalis family was a jazz powerhouse? I’ll be able to cover many issues with them alone!

This time, I’ll discuss Branford, the oldest brother, who is a saxophonist, composer, and bandleader.

Jazz and related

I put on more music links when I put an official site link. This avoids duplicate content.

That wraps up this week’s issue. See you next week.

Have any suggestions? Feel free.
