Some of his are classic mysteries, like "A Small Town in Germany," for instance, don't you think?Brent Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607586946850330321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-57936452905840681702011-04-03T09:24:47.079-07:002011-04-03T09:24:47.079-07:00Thought that other Michael Dibdin novels from the ...Thought that other Michael Dibdin novels from the Aurelio Zen series would have been in there. Now I'll have to read Dirty Tricks.<br /><br />Didn't think Roseanna was the best of the maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo Martin Beck series but it was good. <br /><br />Read a few others including Colin Dexter's The Remorseful Day but have to say the TV series beat them to a pulp. Even Colin Dexter admitted that the telly was better than his books. Brave man. Not often that happens!<br /><br />Now I have a massive list to find on the library catalogue including the HRF Keating books. Thanks for these!Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-77025943741650754332011-04-01T16:47:34.483-07:002011-04-01T16:47:34.483-07:00I've read most of the books in the first half ...I've read most of the books in the first half of the list (my interests tend to run more towards the traditional mystery, as practiced in the first half of the 20th century). I disagree strongly with only one choice - "The Documents in the Case," which I found more boring than I'd expect from Sayers. For the most part, though, it's a good, representative list of authors, though I might have chosen different works for some of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-46010638448469467382011-03-31T22:01:38.310-07:002011-03-31T22:01:38.310-07:00I think IN A LONELY PLACE or even Hughes' firs...I think IN A LONELY PLACE or even Hughes' first book - the sinister tale of the psycho brothers in top hats and tails - THIS SO BLUE MARBLE are much better choices to represent her work than what they chose.<br /><br />Two Simenon books but nothing from Boileau & Narcejac?
