Highlights......I'm looking forward to Haske's book, Dennis Tafoya and Jerry Stahl. I can start Garry Disher's Wyatt series now I've located the first couple. Georges Simenon, I haven't yet read. Markham's book was published then pulled - so that'll be interesting.
Lowlights......nothing frightening.
Hopefully I have better luck second time around tackling Patricia Highsmith's Ripley.

These are some great authors, Col! Disher, Mcdonald/Millar, one of the Martin Beck books, and Dibdin too - nice. And I saw that Agatha Christie! :-)
ReplyDeleteMargot thanks. Christie lurks in the tubs! Not in any great numbers, but a few for a taster!
DeleteI have a book by Bill Granger, but it's a cookbook, so I'm guessing a different Bill. Like Margot, I clocked the Christie - that would be a very good one to start on...
ReplyDeleteIt might be the same one - an American Len Deighton maybe? If only I'd logged this one a month earlier I could have read CROOKED HOUSE for the meme! (No 1934 book located yet!)
DeleteHow do you know it's 1934? I can't see it anywhere...
DeleteOne of the last comments on the '49-page......my heart sunk
DeleteOh dear you are so unlucky! You definitely need to start trying to influence the choices....
DeleteYes, I do. I have found the book to read though, even if I did have to buy it on kindle for a pound. I have my own copy, but haven't uncovered it yet.
DeleteI've read the Ripley books, Act Of Passion and Our Man In Havana. All very good indeed!
ReplyDeleteI should give Ripley another go at some point and I've not yet tried any of Simenon's work. I keep getting waylaid by newer books!
DeleteCol, you got some great books by equally great authors here. I'm familiar with Angela Savage via her blog though I have not read her fiction yet. I'll be looking forward to your reviews of her novels. Thanks for the mention — PUBLIC MURDERS is realistic and gritty with some excellent police procedural. I have a feeling you will like it.
ReplyDeleteI think I bought Angela's book after Margot mentioned her more than once and she does drop in on her blog occasionally. I don't follow Angela's blog TBH, maybe I will see after reading her book. Looking forward to the Granger, someday!
DeleteThis is a classic box - lots there I'd like to read +/- re-read. I really like Helen MacInnes but I fear she might be too romantic for you... ;-)
ReplyDeleteVicki, I hope she isn't but I'll soon find out...soon being sometime in the next 10 years or so.
DeleteThis tub looks to be a winner! Highsmith should be raised all the way to the top of your list however. Next to Derek Raymond, she is a must read.
ReplyDeleteHighsmith and Raymond - ok duly noted. I don't think you've steered me wrong yet!
DeleteYou have a lot that I want to read here (in addition to the ones already mentioned in comments by others). The Gary Disher Wyatt books. I have not found any of those. The Cornell Woolrich. Glen is interested in his books. And a Harry Devlin book. I have the first in that series.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to cut down on getting new books, even review copies and freebies so I can read more of my own. I want to get back to doing some series reading, which I started in 2013 - one a month working my way forwards. Disher and Wyatt should figure at some point.
