I loved Josh Lanyon’s The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks. The characters are great. The lead characters are perfectly matched for each other, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, while the secondary characters read like a list from some pulp fiction book, the mystery grabs you. I spent the whole time thinking I knew ‘who done it’ only to change my mind a few minutes later. Of course, since I picked every character at least once I turned out to be right. This is a must read for any mystery lover.
