Best Left Unforgotten

Although Michael Atkinson’s “forgotten books” post on this page today covers a non-fiction book about crime, James H. Fetzer’s The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, other entries in the continuing series tackle novels drawn from the mystery and thriller section. Some of those recommended titles are: The Venetian Blonde, by the late A.S. Fleischman; Death at Hollows End, by Leo Bruce; The Lawyer’s Secret, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon; Billingsgate Shoal, by Rick Boyer; The Crooked Hinge, by John Dickson Carr; Cold Comfort, by Don Bredes; And Sudden Death, by Cleve F. Adams; Trans-Siberian Express, by Warren Adler; Before She Dies, by Steve F. Havill; A Private Inquiry, by Jessica Mann; Spy Story, by Len Deighton; and Tom Logan’s Detroit PD series.

To locate a full list of today’s participating writers, click over to Patti Abbott’s blog. There you will also find recommendations of three more neglected novels, including The Last Night, by John McPartland.
