Bye Bye, Baby by Max Allan Collins. It's the latest in the Nathan Heller series, and I've been waiting years for Collins to give us another Heller tale. This time Heller looks into the death of Marilyn Monroe. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Coincidentally, Netflix delivered The Last Lullaby today. It's based on Collins' novel The Last Quarry. The novel is top notch. The plot isn't really that original. A hitman falls for his target. Trouble ensues. But Collins has a way with his material that makes it very readable and enjoyable. It's crime fiction at its best. The movie on the other hand has gotten mixed reviews. I liked the book enough to give it a shot. Again, I'll let you know how it turns out.
