That was a defining novel for him, I think. (Still working with Curtis Brown to get that reprinted. BTW). Also, it will be interesting to see how Timothy Trant has changed from <i>Death and the Maiden</i> to <i>Family Skeletons</i>, whether or not Wheeler ages him, changes him from how he and Webb first created him. Through sheer chance I managed to find the last three Quentin books at all at once at dirt cheap prices so I bought them all. Very eager to dig into them.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-51084185576322678122014-06-06T10:14:03.864-07:002014-06-06T10:14:03.864-07:00Why the last three?

I went on a Patrick Quentin buying binge in the past two weeks, and was going to review <i>Death in the Dovcot</i> (aka <i>Murder at the Women's City Club</i>) for today's Friday Forgotten book until I realized I had two overdue reviews from other books I finished in April and May. So I am putting off my review of that very scarce book - the second of Webb's collaborative mysteries with Martha Kelley -- for a few days. I'm also planning on reviewing the final three Wheeler-Quentin books later this summer. Soon there will be a barrage of Q Patrick/Patrick Quentin blog posts.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
