    Col, this is another formidable lineup of books by many authors I have neither read nor heard of. There was a time when I used to collect Penguin Books only for their covers, but then, one day they disappeared from secondhand bookstores and I stopped buying them. That said, I haven't read Raymond Chandler yet.

      I tend to avoid older Penguins where possible because my eyes don't like the type-setting of the books, not very easy on my eyes I'm afraid. I haven't read too much of Chandler myself either.

    Best cover AND best title award both go to Bodies Are Dust! And I think Reginald Hill has to be the author most pushing forward - you need to start on him.

      I might get to read it soon if 1931 comes up as Rich's year of choice. Reginald Hall I'll try and get to once I'm out from all my sort of obligation reads.

    You have several there that I have, but haven't read: THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO AMSTERDAM, HAVANA RED, and THE SPY'S WIFE... Have you read any books by P. J. Tracy? I think I have THE MONKEEWRENCH GANG, but have not read it.

    Couple of Aussies there - I've read the Browne and (I'm almost certain) that Maloney, but only the Browne sticks in my mind, probably because I loved the Italian setting and the ending is unforgettable. No spoilers tho'.

      Not tried Browne yet Vicki. I have read one Maloney before, enjoyable without being the best book ever.
