Forward Into the Past

With the series’ holiday hiatus now over, the blogosphere is alive once more with “forgotten books” choices.

Benson; The Case Files of Dan Turner, by Robert Leslie Bellem; Murder in Miniature and Other Stories, by Leo Bruce; The Black Stage, by Anthony Gilbert; The Yakuza, by Leonard Schrader; and The Chinese Bell Murders, by Robert van Gulik.

Series organizer Patti Abbott offers a couple of other picks in her blog, plus a full list of today’s contributors.
