Remembering the Forgotten

How can you tell it’s Friday? Because of the proliferation of “forgotten books” posts in the crime-fiction blogosphere. Among today’s recommended reads: The Princess Stakes Murder, by Kin Platt; The Lime Pit, by Jonathan Valin; Dupe, by Liza Cody; The Assassinator, by David Vowell; The Brass Go-Between, by Oliver Bleeck; The Perfect Murder, by H.R.F. Keating; The Mind Thing, by Fredric Brown; and Rogue Male, by Geoffrey Household. There are also a few non-crime novels being talked about today, including John D. MacDonald’s Wine of the Dreamers, Edgar Rice Burrough’s The Beasts of Tarzan, Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, Dudley Dean’s Trail of the Hunter, and Used and Rare, by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone.

Series organizer Patti Abbott hosts a few more reading choices in her own blog, among them Danger Is My Business, by Lee Server. She also provides a complete list of today’s participating blogs.
