I need to stick to the Westlake name!

I think you would like some of Dard's books.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-27480603610935477882018-07-03T22:29:58.589-07:002018-07-03T22:29:58.589-07:00Thanks Margot, Dard and Westlake are keenly antici...Thanks Margot, Dard and Westlake are keenly anticipated.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-59893999706009030502018-07-03T22:29:26.984-07:002018-07-03T22:29:26.984-07:00Haha - I think we'd all be on the brink withou...Haha - I think we'd all be on the brink without some Westlake as a back-up.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-79300640814776498982018-07-03T12:04:24.307-07:002018-07-03T12:04:24.307-07:00The Westlake sounds interesting, I am hoping to fi...The Westlake sounds interesting, I am hoping to find more of his at the book sale this year.

I too have books by Manotti and Dard on the pile -- and Westlake, of course: I think I'd have a breakdown if I didn't know there were a couple of Westlakes on the shelves, waiting to be read.noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.com
