Some of My Best Friends Are Murderers Is a #1 New Release on Amazon!

 

I want to thank my readers for their support!  Right now, Some of My Best Friends Are Murderers: Critiquing the Columbo Killers is a #1 New Release on Amazon in the category “Drama & Plays Literary Criticism.”  It’s been in that position for four days!  I’m very grateful to everybody who has ordered the book so far– once again, thank you!

 

Also, Lauren Stoolfire has written a five-star review of The Autistic Sleuth on Reedsy!  I really appreciate this review, especially the very nice conclusion:

 

Overall, I can't recommend MX Publishing's The Autistic Sleuth by Chris Chan and Patricia Meyer Chan, Ph.D. enough, especially if you're interested in pop culture analysis through an autistic lens, Sherlock Holmes, and even just discussions of a variety of detectives in movies and tv shows. Thank you to Chris Chan for reminding me of all the tv series and movies that I'd like to rewatch or start for the first time, especially Miss Sherlock and Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I'd also like to thank the author for his analysis and for helping me to look at aspects of these characters and their programs in another way. I will certainly have to read more of Chris Chan's work in the future.

 

The Autistic Sleuth will be released in less than a week, and Some of My Best Friends Are Murderers will be available in a week and a half!

Some of My Best Friends Are Murderers Will be Released on September 24^th!

We have a release date for my book Some of My Best Friends Are Murderers: Critiquing the Columbo Killers!  The book will be released on September 24^th!

 

Here’s a description of the book:

 

Can you enjoy a crime television show if you already know whodunit? As Columbo proved, definitely! In nearly every episode, Lieutenant Columbo, played by Peter Falk, is paired off against a murderer who’d supposedly committed the perfect crime. Columbo would question, trick, and even befriend the very different killers in order to make an arrest. But despite the standard formula for the episodes, each guest murderer was unique. This book will explore the killers who believed they were too clever to be caught, only to be undone by a detective who kept asking about just one more thing…

 

 

This is a busy month for me– another crime criticism book, The Autistic Sleuth, will be released on September 19^th!  Two books are getting published within a week!
