Why read it?
1 author picked Death is a Lonely Business as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Did you know that Ray Bradbury wrote mysteries? He wrote a few toward the end of his career, and they’re set in the deeply weird world of Southern California, which immediately makes them off-kilter.

Strange and puzzling, and always ready to twist your expectations.
From Jocelyn's list on off-kilter mysteries for off-kilter readers.
