That's fine with me! <br /><br />Tomorrow evening at the abandoned churchyard. You bring a blindfolded Resnicow and I'll bring a hooded DeAndrea, and exchange them by letting them walk pass each other to us and before spedding out of there.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-58730150721757862322011-07-02T22:57:00.704+02:002011-07-02T22:57:00.704+02:00Harrumph!

(Your review of THE MANX MURDERS is another one, by the way- it just arrived via ILL today, though I have awaited it, THE WEREWOLF MURDERS, and others for quite some time now.)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-84860364087448227262011-07-02T22:52:19.519+02:002011-07-02T22:52:19.519+02:00Hey, Death of Jezebel doesn't count!

Like you said, he does everything right, from great plots to interesting characters, and the stories are a superb combo of the classic style and the post-GAD approach – with a hardboiled edge.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-12039470688751500472011-06-30T20:31:20.333+02:002011-06-30T20:31:20.333+02:00Well, there we go, you've beaten me to somethi...Well, there we go, you've beaten me to something this time and we're even again! ;)<br /><br />I really love DeAndrea. He does everything right- his plots are lean and juicy, his characters are plenty of fun, and his jokes are genuinely funny. I still remember a great line from "Killed on the Rocks":<br /><br />"Is there any way to make a shower fun?"<br />"Sure. I'll lend you my rubber ducky."Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.com
