Even though The Rap Sheet isn’t participating today in Patti Abbott’s distinguished “forgotten books” series (this being only the second week we have not), there are a number of other recommendations being made elsewhere in the blogosphere. Among the candidates: The Big Clock, by Kenneth Fearing; Climb a Broken Ladder, by Robert Novak; Jitter Joint, by Howard Swindle; Death in Ecstasy, by Ngaio Marsh; the historical mystery series by P.F. Chisholm; and a non-crime novel, Legacy, by James Michener. In addition, Abbott features a trio of other older books you ought to read in her own blog, plus a photo of me caught reading at my desk (not an uncommon sight, but usually not put on public display).
By the way, any authors who would be interested in contributing their own forgotten book nominations to The Rap Sheet are welcome to contact me at jpwrites@wordcuts.org.
