I've not read any Ellis Peters and thought one would be in order. I hadn't checked before getting it and thought it would be a Cadfael book, but it isn't. Not a problem though. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-22457956035703080092013-11-03T12:20:48.410-08:002013-11-03T12:20:48.410-08:00Interesting group of books.

And I have read the first George Felse book that precedes Death and the Joyful Woman.

Is the next Terry Shames out then? I definitely want to read that. I read a couple of those early Ellis Peters books - very much of their time, giving a real feel for the early 60s, but not sure if this was one of them. [Pause for a quick check] - yes I did, and liked it as a period piece.

Have you read a lot of Lawrence Block's books? I am a fan but of his hit man series - John Keller. Some of his short stories are pretty awesome and the one Matthew Scudder I read was great - When The Sacred Ginmill Closes. whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-12258717826758015372013-11-02T03:43:27.407-07:002013-11-02T03:43:27.407-07:00Col, you got some fine books there, especially the...Col, you got some fine books there, especially the Terry Shames book. It's interesting that you should highlight a Lawrence Block novel for I have four of his books in front of me right now. I hope to take them home, from my office, for the long Diwali weekend. I need to take an inventory of some of my books.Prashant C. Trikannadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079354501998741758noreply@blogger.com
