"Smoking on Mount Rushmore"Are you the type of person that reads everyday no matter what your schedule is? I am! Do you have to plan your schedule or work around your reading? I do! This may be the perfect book for you. It was for me."Smoking on Mount Rushmore" is made up of many (not just one) short stories. I found myself being able to read a story in between classes at work and in between dogs at home. There was a short story on just about every topic imaginable such as the Loch Ness Monster, Lakota Road, relationships on every level. The difference I found was Ed's endings. I can only compare Ed's endings of his stories to Lawrence Block. They each took a twist that came out of the blue.Ed's writing is clear as is his characters. There's no confusion in the dialogue or mindset of his characters. My favorites featured Ed's P.I. Frank. Since I'm addicted to mysteries I am planning on continuing my reading of Frank in Ed's other mysteries.In short, there is a story for everyone in this book and you're not just paying for one. I enjoyed these stories and recommend this book to every avid reader of mysteries and then some.
