Wonderful!! One of the most enjoyable reads I have experienced in a long time. This is the first in a series of seven books featuring Ed and his Uncle, Ambrose, Hunter. I must find the rest! This not enough about these two people. I want more. Enjoy.
Young man yearns for adventure. The ancient treasure map that leads to an atoll in the Pacific...the mutinous crew...the innocent young girl he loves...give him more adventure than he could have dreamed. Lots of swash and buckle and derring do. You get the picture. Total escapism. Does he get the girl? What do you think? Great for a rainy afternoon. Enjoy!
Highly unusual mystery/thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is quite a departure from Cohen's David Carroll mystery series.
Alan Douglas loves Gail Foster. Gail Foster's father finds himself framed for embezzlement and must pay the money back or be charged with the crime. Alan is offered a heap of money if he will impersonate a certain rich man for several months--an offer he can't afford to refuse if he wants to help Gail's father. But...nothing is what it seems. It is definitely worth a read. Enjoy!
Silliness and skulduggery abound. Who is doing what to whom, and what does it all mean? Light, fun, and breezy with, of course, a happy ending all around. A totally different experience from the author of the Lone Wolf series. Enjoy!
Good heavens! This was really something. Yes, I read it at night (it is the only time I have to read). It is truly creepy and totally riveting. I simply couldn't put it down. Don't miss it. I have to find out if Ethel White wrote more books. This one was something very special. Enjoy!
This was fun! The "world's greatest detective" who is called (get this!) The Master Mind unravels the tricky puzzle of the death of an internationally renowned financier and saves his daughter from penury. Pulpy, but great fun. Enjoy!
A 17-year-old asthmatic boy who longs for adventure finds just that--in spades! Along the way he is forced to grow up. Unusual book. A page turner. Enjoy!
For the first few pages of this book, I was totally put off by it. The obnoxious tannery owner (obviously the soon-to-be murder victim) was SO obnoxious that I didn't even want to continue reading about him. I actually came close to quitting it. That would have been a mistake. As soon as the Monk of Hambleton came on the scene, I couldn't put it down. It is a masterfully written mystery. Lots of suspects. Everybody has a motive. It is one of the few mysteries I have read that you are completely on the side of the murderer. If ever anyone required a good murdering, it was Simon Varr. Terrific read. I am on a quest now for more of this author's books.
I found another title by Armstrong Livingston (Murder is Easy) listed on Google that received high praise from Dorothy L. Sayers who said about it, "If this doesn't please you, you are very hard to please indeed." That sentiment applies just as accurately to this book. Read it. You can't help but like it! I hope Manybooks finds more of his works.
I agree! This is a fun read. It kept me up way too late, but am I complaining? No! It was worth it. Twists and turns abound. The author has a very good feeling for giving you a sense of place. You really hear and feel the wind keening through the dry, rustling leaves of the winter-dead trees. Spooky. Yes. Fun. Definitely. Go for it. You won't be sorry.
I read the first Gees book (Gees' First Case) and loved it. I was a little leery of this one when I realized its subject was lycanthropy. It seemed like such a departure from the previous book. Werewolves? Really? But I give E. Charles Vivian kudos for his achievement. It was excellent, and I highly recommend it. I don't want to give away much of the plot, so just read it. Do! It is worth it. I want more Gees please!
