Also love the cover as well, I'm hoping to start a regular post called 'Crime By Design' which looks at the design of crime fiction over the years, this series would be a really good one to do.

But good to know I still have some of the best to look forward to. I'll probably pick them up, somewhere, next month and save the Chrismas one for the end of this year. <br /><br />Which is third one you read?

Good to read that you have enjoyed Mordecai as much as I have. I'm planning on a post on Mordecai Tremaine this month. I've read three of the books so far. I thought I'd give you some "sneak preview" recommendations for the remaining Duncan mystery novels. <i>Behold a Fair Woman</i> is probably the best of the lot with an intricately constructed plot and a somewhat tragic climax. The other, <i>Murder Has a Motive</i>, set in an amateur theater society, leans heavily on shock factor with a high body count and a truly bizarre motivation for all the deaths. So bizarre that the title is almost ironic.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
