Perry's earlier stuff I love, though I'll have to re-read The Butcher's Boy before Sleeping Dogs. Ross Thomas - I really can't remember his work. I do enjoy Hiaasen's books as well.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-23334256013892269882019-06-30T17:49:19.602-07:002019-06-30T17:49:19.602-07:00I have recently read The Dogs of Riga and will be ...I have recently read The Dogs of Riga and will be reviewing it soonish. I did like it, only my second book by Mankell. I have Sleeping Dogs and look forward to reading it. The books I have read by Ross Thomas have been very good, so I imagine I would like Yellow-Dog Contract. I still haven't read anything by Carl Hiaasen.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-44789502497596046812019-06-29T23:03:31.387-07:002019-06-29T23:03:31.387-07:00Bone Dogs does sound good (question to self - why ...Bone Dogs does sound good (question to self - why haven't I read it yet?). I think I prefer Perry's earlier work to his later stuff, the last one from him wasn't great. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-26064716895446386342019-06-27T08:55:17.733-07:002019-06-27T08:55:17.733-07:00More dogs, great!I like the sound of Bone Dogs, an...More dogs, great!I like the sound of Bone Dogs, and I always like Thomas Perry, haven't read this one.

I think that series is so very good. And as for <i>Sick Puppy</i>, I like Hiaasen quite a lot, so, for me, any time spent in his company is time well spent. Hope you'll enjoy these.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
