In my opinion, the Jackson, the Cain, the Millar, and the Levin are especially good crime fiction novels. And of course the others are excellent, too. Looking forward to your telling us which one you read.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-37363695656064234852019-09-17T21:49:25.929-07:002019-09-17T21:49:25.929-07:00TracyK: A clever way to encourage your reading.
