The links below, to reviews of the cited books, might be added to over the course of the day as a few more titles come in; Patti Abbott will be hosting the links as usual next Friday, which will be an Agatha Christie special week, featuring a number (though almost certainly not exclusively) of Christie's books, including perhaps as close to obscurities as her popularity and prolificacy allows. Thanks to all contributors, and all you readers...if I've missed your review, or someone else's, please let me know in comments.

A little early - or late for last week's - here's my Monday contribution to FFB:
ReplyDeleteSeconds to Go by Phil Strong
Of interest, perhaps, only to those who like boxing novels... those who like bad boxing novels will be in heaven.
Late as usual. I think I'm on the verge of just packing it in and calling this my 'new normal'.
ReplyDeleteI am predisposed to be tardy and that's all there is to it. :)
My post will be up and running soon.
Hi, Todd. My FFB entry for today is Ken Bruen's SANCTUARY.
ReplyDeleteThe link is:

Todd, I'd planned to carry this very cover of THE EXECUTIONERS with my post but two covers I clicked on lacked clarity. You got a good one, though, so many thanks for highlighting it as also the link to my piece. Any idea why MacDonald (or his publisher) changed the title?
ReplyDeleteThanks, folks...they'll be up there shortly...
ReplyDeletePrashant, for no better reason than the film's publicity. At least one edition from the decades between the films was published as THE EXECUTIONERS.
Okay, Todd. I'm up and running. Finally. :)
