Until I saw the beginning credits, I did not realize that the series was inspired by novels. It looks to me like the series started after the first book was published, and the other two books followed, but not sure on that.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-79312463294414786482015-07-07T10:25:14.554-07:002015-07-07T10:25:14.554-07:00Tracy, I have added James M.

Reading LONG TIME COMING which I got into long before it was even nominated for the Edgar which it eventually sent me off looking for more of his books. PLAY TO THE END, a very good one, is something Hitchcock could've made into a fine movie were he still alive. If you like historical mysteries PAINTING THE DARKNESS is a whopper of a tale inspired in part by the Tichborne Claimant case infamous in Victorian trial law. Most of Goddard's books impress me to no end. As a matter of fact I have a couple in my TBR pile for this summer.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-79471496043478626112015-07-07T07:48:49.242-07:002015-07-07T07:48:49.242-07:00I'm a big fan of Robert Goddard and I think I&...I'm a big fan of Robert Goddard and I think I've read nearly all of his books.

I'll be looking forward to your reviews of the Goddard and the Weston. I honestly hadn't know that <i>Streets of San Francisco</i> was based on a novel (or if I did know, I'd forgotten).
