Many thanks to @publisherswkly.bsky.social for the great review of MURDER BY DESIGN!

"A struggling actor teams up with a suave, design-obsessed ex-cop (who is) a cross between James Bond and Adrian Monk. This lighthearted whodunit goes down smooth."

If memory serves, "Depths of Deceit" was supposed to follow your excellent episode, "Weapons of War." We'd delivered our draft & I were about to write our next script, "About Face," when the show was cancelled. We wrote it in a single day, as we packed up our offices, just to get the $$ for it.

Our Worst Script - Lee Goldberg Here's an excerpt from "About Face," the worst script that William Rabkin and I ever wrote...but before I share it with you, here's the story behind it

It's been 30 years since we wrote that unproduced script. I'll have to do some digging. In the mean time, you might enjoy this story about another unproduced episode leegoldberg.com/our-worst-sc...

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

A False Sense of Security: Lee Goldberg’s Gated Prey Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone are undercover as a wealthy, somewhat clueless couple—an aging, overweight man of means and his younger, hawter, gold digging galpal—as the third entry in the Eve Ronin …

Many thanks to Considering Stories for the detailed review of GATED PREY, the 3rd Eve Ronin novel.

"Folks looking for a novel length meal of misery served atop a bed of angst will be left wanting. 'Gated Prey' is a terrific entry in the series."

Why do I feel like I've seen a dozen movies or TV shows about hitmen who are losing their memory? It's become a cliche.

Mysteries: ‘Huguette’ by Cara Black Plus “Only Way Out” by Tod Goldberg and “The Secret Sharers” by Qiu Xiaolong.

Congrats to my friend Cara Black on her terrific Wall Street Journal review for HUGETTE.

"With its spirited cast of characters, sharply drawn settings and well-maintained suspense, “Huguette” should earn many votes as one of the best historical thrillers of the year."

Big congrats to my brother @todgoldberg.bsky.social on the great @wsj.com review for ONLY WAY OUT.

"There are echoes in this book of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, Quentin Tarantino and Donald Westlake, but Mr. Goldberg is master of his own gonzo mix."
