by Patrick H. Moore
All good things must end (and all bad things too). What is ending now is All Things Crime Blog. We’ve been hit with a frivolous lawsuit which Patrick H. is fighting, with the help of a highly competent young lawyer (and a generous amount of realm coin).
Unfortunately, Moore is not in a position to shell out coin every time some allegedly aggrieved soul decides he or she has been defamed. Thus, my difficult decision to remove virtually all content from ATCB. The sidebar remains including our list of favorites and our crime novels which are for sale.
What I found especially rewarding during the 2 years ATCB was in existence was getting to know America (and to some degree the world) in a way I never had before. I will not forget this. I also enjoyed greatly interacting with our suburb contributors.
Although the lawsuit hastened the demise of ATCB, it would have happened anyway in the very near future as it’s time for Patrick H. to shake off the darkness that he has lived and breathed for the past two years (if he can) and try to let the light back into his life.
I will close with a phrase from the immortal Woody Guthrie:
“So long it’s been good to know you.”
