I would love to hear more about the Cores books, I know Rue Morgue, which has a partiality to "wacky" mysteries, reprinted it, but I have not read it (I have never liked too much wacky mystery besides Taylor and Rice).The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-22074833312587599032013-12-26T20:38:19.887-08:002013-12-26T20:38:19.887-08:00And they have commenced!

(But in total I have read twelve of the writers though not some of the specific titles listed.) Three of them I have never heard of: GREEN CIRCLE by Chris Massie (though I know the writer's name), A STRANGER AND AFRAID, and YEAR OF AUGUST. So of course now I will have to track down those books and rectify my ignorance of those writers. I've always wanted to try out Mitchell Wilson who had a few books reprinted as Dell Mapbacks and whose books turn up frequently in my book browsing and online hunting. I guess I know which one to start with now. <br /><br />BTW -- I have a review of a Christmas themed detective novel coming tomorrow! Found the book back in the summer and saved it especially for the last FFB post of 2013. Turns out to be one fo the best books I read this year.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-68481913141907831712013-12-26T07:22:44.045-08:002013-12-26T07:22:44.045-08:00Happy holidays, Curt!

I wouldn't have put Lucy Cores's "Painted for the Kill" on any best-of list, though; it's pissed me off for years. I won't say precisely why, for fear of spoiling someone's potential enjoyment, but times have certainly changed for the better since it was written.
