It's too bad you didn't finish Judgment though, because I thought it had a really clever solution.<br /><br />I'd love to see the inscription. I don't actually have all the Dundas books myself, so you have bested me! All the titles are being reprinted, however.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-6089233179384765902019-07-07T12:13:21.711-07:002019-07-07T12:13:21.711-07:00I meant Murder on the Day of Judgement.

As far as the Allan series, I read this book and the Dead on the Day of Judgement, which I couldn't finish. Maybe I'll try another eventually. I guess as a rule I prefer urban (or suburban) mysteries to rural ones.<br /><br />I'm glad it's being reprinted but as usual it doesn't happen until after I've gone to the expense of buying all the Dundas series. One plus of buying the old editions though was that I got one inscribed by the author.Mark McGlonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208359156193723805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-10824196014909261522019-07-07T12:07:11.514-07:002019-07-07T12:07:11.514-07:00I's love to get your opinion, because I've...I's love to get your opinion, because I've never even been to northern California!

I hope it will be "recycled" when the new edition comes out. One tiny clarification comment/question: Are Powers and Pope the same person? The review introduces Powers once, and then mentions Pope without, I believe, introducing him but in a manner that seems to refer to the character named Powers.Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978885973806549838noreply@blogger.com
