Thanks for the honest review, @krtipple.bsky.social As usual, there's enough for people to know whether the book is for them or not but no spoilers. Here's the recently updated cover.

My #Review today is on this #PoliceProcedural in the long running series. #Booksky Kevin's Corner: Review: Dirty Little Town: A River City Novel by Frank Zafiro kevintipplescorner.blogspot.com/2026/07/revi...

As usual, @krtipple.bsky.social gives an honest and fair review, this time of one of my more difficult (but I think important) River City novels -- check it out! And follow Kevin -- he reviews regularly and honestly, just his take, not a quest for clicks.
