The best treatment of a Moore novel thus far, I think.<br /><br />John, would that I had a similar store nearby. If offered a choice, I'd go for <i>A Bullet for My Lady</i> before <i>French for Murder</i>. I haven't yet read Moore's <i>This Gun for Gloria</i>, his last Gold Medal. Next year!Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-38727803130442978802012-01-30T11:31:26.612-05:002012-01-30T11:31:26.612-05:00I read somewhere else on your blog about the Moore...I read somewhere else on your blog about the Moore/Mara books and made a note to track down all of them. Thanks for this review which only impels me to find them sooner. I have a feeling there's a store in town that will have at least one. It has yet to fail me when I desire anything from Gold Medal.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-55572008804438153322012-01-27T11:06:58.914-05:002012-01-27T11:06:58.914-05:00Brian Moore is an underrated writer.

Must add that I've never before come across mention of that particular sexual fetish (and I really had to read up on such things in writing the Glassco bio).Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-10900624184946243782012-01-26T01:24:18.607-05:002012-01-26T01:24:18.607-05:00There's a man in Nancy Spain's Death befor...There's a man in Nancy Spain's Death before Wicket (see blog) who would have adored this person.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-59901734417146960792012-01-25T09:54:44.216-05:002012-01-25T09:54:44.216-05:00Agreed.
