This is terrific. I've been a fan of the Renko series for years and have always wondered what Cruz Smith might be like (obviously a person of great intelligence and wit ... but what else). It's fun watching him talk rather humbly about works that, in my opinion, transcend the mystery genre and approach Literature (yes, with a capital L).
I have spent most of my life reading fiction. There are probably at least 50 of my preferred authors that I have read all their books. While none of Martin's novels would make it into my all time top ten, he is the ONLY AUTHOR of which I could say I thoroughly enjoyed every one of their works. And he keeps getting better! I highly recommend any of his books!
The Arkady Renko books are the only detective novels that I've come to love.

Mr. Smith wrote my favorite series of fiction books. They are just great. Thank you for the video!
