The Partisan list, numbering thirteen, has some old favourites; I see others deserving reconsideration. I'll be reading them all over the next few months – including the four I don't know at all.
How come no one told me about Jonathan Goldstein's novel?
Anyway, here's the list. I'm presenting it in order of publication for no other reason than it places my selection first, but you'd do better to read the actual Partisan piece.

I do hope you are planning to review them all here. I will be looking for your thoughts on them.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I have to go looking for a copy of An Air That Kills.
And here I am trying to cut down on my blogging, Tracy.
DeleteAn interesting assortment. As I think you know, I'm with you on Millar, although I don't think I've read An Air That Kills. Must try to amend that.
ReplyDeleteThe wonderful thing about An Air That Kills is that it's actually in print from Stark House.
