Books I've Read

Subtitle: How politics is placed told by one who knows the game. A fascinating insider's look at political maneuvering up to 1988, but mostly in the 60s through the 80s. One anecdote I had just read in an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, here was presented a lot of background information. Great stuff!

Two French fishermen friends are shot by Prussians when they won't reveal the password to cross the French lines. Oh, Spoiler Alert!

Joe Gunther investigates the appearance of two dead guys, and his mother and brother's car accident.

A very good story of a boy who experiences the Pearl Harbor attack.

I enjoyed this story very much. Pretty exciting in parts. Lots of radio stuff, even some amateur radio. Story ended pretty abruptly, though.

87th precinct investigates the murder of a model.

Short book about a student driver, her instructor, and the lady they hit.

Fat Ollie of the 88th taps the regulars of the 87th to find the killer of a politician AND who stole the only manuscript of Fat Ollie's book. Very enjoyable!

Matthew Hope defends a woman who everbody saw burying one of the victims in her garden!

The Deaf Man starts a riot at a rap concert in the park to cover a crime, meanwhile someone is knocking off graffeti "artists".

Fat Ollie saves Carella's life twice. Pretty good. Still like the second time I read it!

87th precinct investigates the murder of an old lady and her cat, who used to be a famous concert pianist. The old lady, that is.

The 87th precinct investigates the attempted murder of an actress who is in a play about the murder of an actress in a play...

87th Precinct series. Who would want to murder a nun?

A budding pop star is kidnapped.

Matthew Hope finds a missing husband who's trying to steal Socrates hemlock bottle.

Ten novellas by authors such as Westlake, McCrumb, King, Block, John Farris, and others.

Second (and probably last) volume of the space cats series, which apparently relates to the cats in "The Tower And The Hive" series.

Co-authored by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. This book is about cats in space. It is OK, funny at times, perhaps even "slyly" funny. I will read the next book. But after that, I am not making any promises.

Another in the series of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency stories, the second one I've read now. A very nice story, with interesting insights into life in Botswana.
