If Zeltserman keeps writing novels as terrific as Small Crimes... he may churn out a corpus that rivals Cain's...
The plot of Small Crimes is a thing of beauty: spare but ingeniously twisted and imbued with a glossy coating of black humor. Zeltserman takes up all the familiar tropes of the formula - femmes fatales, frighteningly dysfunctional families, self-destructive drives and the death grip of the past - and shows how infinite are the combinations that can still be played on them.
