After all, that's the whole point of FB books, isn't it, to republish the very best of the OOP middlebrow writers. It would indeed be curious if you didn't include those writers as the best of the best.Susan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163152026039153248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-17944340457171195292017-04-13T05:52:52.432-07:002017-04-13T05:52:52.432-07:00So delighted to see Guard Your Daughters here - an...So delighted to see Guard Your Daughters here - and so many books I need to read!

The Tiger In The Smoke is probably the high point of that series. It's set during WWII and the urgency of the times is what elevated this book from common or garden murder mystery to psychological thriller.GSGreatEscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362042499522934670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-29907790533112218762017-04-12T09:38:10.107-07:002017-04-12T09:38:10.107-07:00I enjoyed Death of a Peer when I read it some year...I enjoyed Death of a Peer when I read it some years ago, and now, Scott, you have inspired me to re-read it.

I suspect there will be a run on all the second-hand copies of the books on this list that are out of print, I've already ordered several of them myself.
