Shell, try and read the Resnick books in order. I have nmost, if not all of them if you cannot find them. My next scan is the Ishiguro short story collection.

The first was Charlie Resnick and there were ten of those. they are set in Nottingham and Resnick is famous for loving jazz, so you should like that Shell. He also loves football and making and eating exotic sandwiches. His second series istheFrank elder books and there are three of those. The latest set, of which his new book is number two, I have not read yet.

I know I have pet hates and things I look for when reading, and if toomanyof the minus points turn up in one book, then it's a non finisher. i'm sure everyone else is the same, but with different dislikes and likes. Sometimes i can't even put myfingeron what it is that is putting me off, just a case of not connecting. Martina Cole and Tess Gerritsen were 2 big let downs for me but I've only tried one book each of their's,somay try another if I ever get over the first ones. I love McBain though, keep meaning to read them all again in the right order. I've never tried John Harvey, whatsortof series is that?

Some people rave about authors who I just can't stand, Ed McBain being one of those. I also really like Elizabeth George, whereas others who normally share my taste in detective fiction can't stand her. Lynda Laplante is another who does nothing forme,as is Martina Cole, but they are both hugely popular. Shell recently disliked the latest Kate Atkinson, whereas I really enjoy her writing. Reginald Hill is somewhat mixed for me. some of his Dalziel and Pascoe novels I really love, but there are others I do not like at all. John Harvey will be winging its way to you all very soon.

It's funny how some authors grabyouand others don't. For instance, I@ve never been able to get away with Reginald Hill yet I really like John Harvey. Is it a style thing? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "freelists electrobooks books" <electrobooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 5:03 PM Subject: [electrobooks] Jill McGownScene of crime by Jill McGown is now on the book site, and has been forwarded to all on this list apart from Ian who does not appreciate intricate detective fiction. My next scan is the new John Harvey, probably followed by the newIshiguroshort story collection called "Nocturne" which consists of stories about music.__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virussignaturedatabase 4069 (20090512) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
