I've never heard of Edwards before.

I think it's another author and series I want to restart from the beginning, which as I hadn't got too far along anyway isn't quite as ridiculous as it could be.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-61310064784730538942020-05-05T10:47:51.381-07:002020-05-05T10:47:51.381-07:00Margot, both of these series are good, in differen...Margot, both of these series are good, in different ways.

I do like his writing. <br /><br />Short stories would be a good place to start with Dashiell Hammett.

A short story collection might be a good place to start so if you read it I look forward to your thoughts.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-64327725550855599432020-05-04T14:56:35.987-07:002020-05-04T14:56:35.987-07:00Rick, you have convinced me.

As for the Lovesey, I may have read Bertie and the Tinman decades ago, but I don't remember for sure, so I should read it. And I have been enjoying historical fiction and historical mysteries lately. <br /><br />Your recent reading is encouraging me to read something by John Scalzi soon.

While I might should be reading some mysteries, I'm kind of entrenched in science fiction at the present.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, read the Hammett!Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.com
