I am a retired federal government court reporter and paralegal, and I am an avid reader and reviewer of crime, detective, mystery, espionage, and historical fiction; the new edition of my blog, "Crimes in the Library," is where you will able to find regularly posted book reviews and commentary.

I'm glad that Sarah Weinman got her in the "Women Crime Writers" book, but I personally think she is as deserving as of her own set as her husband.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-44601020019921491662015-08-22T08:46:11.036-07:002015-08-22T08:46:11.036-07:00Thank you for this.

I've always been curious about Millar's later novels - and her near unobtainable early writing, for that matter - but don't see them much written about. Thus far, everything I've read stretches between <i>Wall of Eyes</i> (1943) and <i>The Fiend</i> (1964). So much more to explore. I expect I'm not alone in thinking that she too deserves a couple of Library of America volumes.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-90952563993759977972015-08-22T05:39:25.733-07:002015-08-22T05:39:25.733-07:00I think I missed this one.

I went on a great Millar reading spree in the mid-90s, about the time she died, when you still could get all those IPL paperback editions of her tales at the bookstore. I still have a few books by her left to read too. I put it off because I always like the idea of still having some left!The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-88745716871636750512015-08-21T10:28:44.899-07:002015-08-21T10:28:44.899-07:00Happy to see such a thoughtful review of one of th...Happy to see such a thoughtful review of one of the true greats who is far too neglected. It's been twenty years or so since I read Banshee, or indeed any Millar. I need to pull some out for rereads, and I still have a few I've not yet read.
