ReplyDeleteThe Doctor's First Murder by Robert Hare
Certainly, John...thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you're doing, Todd.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patti! Now to get around and touch base with everyone as well as you have over the years. Very happy also to have your new and redux posts....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Todd! Did you see that Otto Penzler's book collection is being auctioned off? High prices but some very cool books there.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jack...yes, Penzler's liquidation of his collection is a key topic of discussion among bibliophiles and crime fiction readers of many though not all stripes...I, like another commenter I've seen recently, prefer a good reading copy to a pristine item one shouldn't breath on.
ReplyDeleteLate on getting to this one, and so am late in pointing out that (for me at least) the link to Todd's own review (of the EQ anthology) doesn't work. / Denny Lien
ReplyDeleteDenny--I didn't finish the review of your kind gift, and still at this late date, haven't. It sits there as a nudge to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
