Last Seen After Midnight
AuthorBudjette Tan
ISBN9710545078
Cadena de Amor 1 star – I just did not get this. The story is about an old woman who can spread vines (that reminded me of a recent read The Ruins that I really liked) like spreading dust at Sahara Desert. There is a scene when the responding police said: “I should’ve brought the lawn mower!” Hello,...
The Rendezvous and Other Stories
AuthorDaphne du Maurier
ISBN1844080714
Review originally published at Learn This Phrase.

The Rendezvous and Other Stories is, or rather was, the only volume of Daphne du Maurier's short stories I hadn't read. It also seems to be the least popular; it has the fewest ratings on Goodreads, and I didn't even know it existed until recently....
Only When I Larf
AuthorLen Deighton
ISBN0722129866
The three confidence tricksters - two blokes and a bird - had a style that earned them millions. Silas was the leader, slick and self-assured -- but dissatisfied. Bob was the junior partner, longing for the open road where pickings were rich and the living was easy. And Liz, Silas' mistress, was! in between....
The Saint and Mr. Teal
AuthorLeslie Charteris
ISBN0786702281
The Saint, returning to England via France after his round against Prince Rudolf and the entire German police force, has counteracted Claud Eustace Teal’s ambition to arrest him immediately by a method that (let it be admitted) is not really cricket, and which draws upon him the disapproval of his...
Midnight Plus One (Crime Masterworks)
AuthorGavin Lyall
ISBN0752867172
Midnight Plus One is considered to be one of Gavin Lyall's best novels and one of the few still in print (at least according to my Internet research). Published in 1965 it is a classic "Euro-thriller" that is part travelogue and part shopping catalog. The action sequences take us across France and Switzerland...
A Garden Of Vipers
AuthorJack Kerley
ISBN0451412338
I enjoyed this one so much that halfway thru reading it ( yes I actually have the book) I searched online and found a used book vendor through Alibris that had really cheap, slightly used, copies of all Jack Kearlys books for sale. Three days after finishing Garden of Vipers, I have started the paperback...
Bad for Business
AuthorRex Stout
ISBN0553763024
Bewildering if you've read all the Wolfe books and seen the A and E series. Because this is "The Bitter End" from a different perspective, with a different detective and a totally different style. I was starting to think either I was nuts, or that A and E had taken it upon themselves to Wolf-ize a Fox story....
Rumble Fish
AuthorMarcus Romer
ISBN1583421548
By far, Rumblefish was my favorite S.E. Hinton book when I was a young teenager. I know that The Outsiders is generally considered the best of her young adult work, but I think that Rumblefish is a better book on several levels:

1.It is more honest about the lives of young adults. The Outsiders...
Mind Catcher
AuthorJohn Darnton
ISBN0451411056
This book started out with a great premise. The first few pages had me hooked - or so I thought. About 50 pages in I started getting bored. Soon I was skimming multiple pages at a time. The author obviously did extensive research for this novel and, sadly, decided to put every bit of it into the story. I found...
Ghosts
AuthorEd McBain
ISBN0553145185
A young woman stops at the grocery store after work, but she never makes it home—at least not all the way. She is stabbed to death in front of her building, her groceries strewn across the cold pavement. Upstairs her neighbor and popular ghost story author Gregory Craig lay dead as well, stabbed in his...

AuthorJohn le Carré
ISBN0517146975
Three complete, previously-issued novels, each a thrilling tale of espionage from the bestselling author of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

Considered the father of the spy thriller, bestselling author John le Carré brings the daring deeds and intricate details of international espionage...
The Standoff
AuthorChuck Hogan
ISBN0553574469
This is a book that sets the tone for a fast-paced novel. It's a story I read when it first came out in 1995. Around that time I was getting back into reading. The blurb and cover are eye-catching. In spite having been published over 20 years ago, the story is real for today's genre.

A white supremacist...
The Essential Hemingway
AuthorErnest Hemingway
ISBN0224602764
It has been said of Ernest Hemingway that half the writers of the twentieth century have tried to imitate him and the other half have tried not to. A towering figure in the pantheon of American letters, the leading voice of the 'lost generation', winner of the Nobel Prize for literature and a Pulitzer Prize,...
Let's All Kill Constance
AuthorRay Bradbury

An aging, once-glamorous Hollywood star, Constance is running in fear from something she dares not acknowledge...
Mothers and Daughters
AuthorEvan Hunter
ISBN0094529809
My third Evan Hunter in as many weeks (Buddwing, Strangers When We Meet) and by far the best. Even though I enjoyed the others this one engaged me much more and I found it compulsively readable. It’s not exactly great literature but it’s an absorbing saga of a group of people whose lives interweave...
An Intimate Ghost
AuthorEllen Hart
ISBN0312317484
Restaurateur Jane Lawless is thrilled to be catering the wedding of some family friends, Nick and Lauren Clifford, but when Jane arrives at the reception, she's in for a shock of a lifetime-and one that could jeopardize her career.
