A Few Additions to Your Pile

In addition to Jeff Cohen’s reassessment on this page of Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe, by Nan and Ivan Lyons, the blogosphere today provides a full helping of “forgotten” crime-related works worth finding once more. Among the recommended titles: Case for Three Detectives, by Leo Bruce; In Stony Silence, by Kay Mitchell; The Silence of the Rain, by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza; Two Heads Are Better, by Elliott Lewis; Bleeding of the Innocents, by Jo Bannister; Scarlet Riders, edited by Don Hutchison; Long Time Gone, by J.A. Jance; The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins (not so forgotten, but always worth passing on to younger readers who haven’t yet discovered Collins); and Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction, by Patricia Highsmith.

Series organizer Patti Abbott serves up a complete list of today’s participating blogs here, plus another four dusty finds, including The Brading Collection, by Patricia Wentworth.
