Blow Off the Dust, Enjoy the Read

Today’s criminally oriented crop of “forgotten books” is plentiful, indeed. Among the works being mentioned around the blogosphere: A Diplomatic Woman, by Huan Mee; Afternoon of a Loser, by Tom Pace; Payment Deferred, by C.S. Forester (yeah, the Horatio Hornblower guy); Slice of Hell, by Mike Roscoe; The Eighth Circle, by Stanley Ellin; Paranoia, by Joseph Finder; and High Profile, by Robert B. Parker. In addition, reviewer Norman Price (aka blogger Uriah Robinson) gives his thumbs-up to The Locked Room, by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, in organizer Patti Abbott’s blog. Look to Abbott’s page, too, for a full list of “forgotten books” being lauded today.
