I think she is better with the earlier Egerton series, as far as detection goes.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-2871221682747238892016-01-06T00:48:59.142-08:002016-01-06T00:48:59.142-08:00Rob, that sort of comment is never off-topic as fa...Rob, that sort of comment is never off-topic as far as I am concerned. ;) Thanks!The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-51502914013063856452016-01-05T09:26:43.030-08:002016-01-05T09:26:43.030-08:00I have read yesterday a book by Anthony Gilbert, D...I have read yesterday a book by Anthony Gilbert, Don't Open The Door (1945), a good thriller, with a good atmosphere and with a degree of tension high enough, not because you ignore the identity of murderer which is obvious, despite the writer tries desperately to disguise it by staging a fake death, but because you have to find in the shortest possible time the heroine who is going to be killed as an eyewitness. However, when the heroine is saved, the novel loses bite, because everyone understand who is the murderer.<br /><br />PietroPietro De Palmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051060020493340331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-89674304345684037882016-01-04T05:36:55.119-08:002016-01-04T05:36:55.119-08:00I know that this is quite off Topic but I read you...I know that this is quite off Topic but I read your blog for a year now and I just wanted to thank you for your excellent work.

I especially like the inclusion of Margaret Millar and Ross Macdonald. I did not know that Thomas H. Cook was a native of Alabama, as I am. I have The Last Talk with Lola Faye (and I have not read any of his other books) so I shall have to try that one.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-23174167452895900642015-12-30T14:32:27.446-08:002015-12-30T14:32:27.446-08:00I haven't read any of these books, or their au...I haven't read any of these books, or their authors, so I thank you!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
