Peter Abresch
September 24th, 2006In the memoir class I took with Professor Michele Morano, one of our assignments was to research the competition to our “slice of life.” That particular exercise came back to me when PARK RIDGE was published. “Who,” I asked myself, “was my competition?”
Foremost on my list were Peter Abresch’s books, the Elderhostel series. I have since read all of them, but find that they are not competitive. True, they deal with groups of senior citizens and murder, but that’s where the similarity ends.
Abresch’s books are fairly light (not a bad thing) while PARK RIDGE is pretty dark (not a bad thing).
