Making Up for Lost Crime

After skipping his September contribution to Shots, in order to attend a crime-fiction festival in Italy, Mike Ripley returns with his mid-October “Getting Away with Murder” column. Under his consideration this time: Eric Ambler’s 1940 novel, Journey Into Fear; reissued mystery yarns by Josephine Tey and A.S. Fleishman; the 10th anniversary of author Reginald Hill’s demise; and new releases from the likes of C.J. Carey (Queen High), Oriana Ramunno (Ashes in the Snow), Peter Papathanasiou (The Invisible), Maxim Jakubowski (Black Is the Night), and others. Ripley’s monthly (except when it’s not) column is always well worth perusing.
