At your post, which I visited a few days back, I learned about A River Runs Through it, which I never would have thought of reading, and was reminded of the Mrs. Pollifax series, which I have read several books from and would like to re-read.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-29797114592417595382021-10-21T21:54:46.899-07:002021-10-21T21:54:46.899-07:00Simon, this must be the third time that I read boo...Simon, this must be the third time that I read books for the various year clubs. I did 1956 and 1936 and 1976. All fun.<br /><br />I wish I could recommend a Barnard. They are all mysteries but all different kinds of books (except the series are much the same within the series). But I can say that you should try something by him.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-57640977881474059432021-10-21T09:55:22.454-07:002021-10-21T09:55:22.454-07:00Thanks, I was not familiar with this author.

I read eight of his books in 2003 (one was Out of the Blackout) and seven books in 2004. I don't think I have ever read A City of Strangers, although I have had a copy a long time.

I see that I read two of his books in the early nineties: Out of the Blackout and A city of Strangers. I can't honestly say that I remember much about either of them, but that explains why his name was so familiar to me when I saw your post.

You never know whether that will happen. Now I am eager to know what the next year is, so I can start my planning. <br /><br />Reading this book by Barnard has made me want to read more of his books. That always happens. Fete Fatale would be perfect but it is buried somewhere in the garage.
