Hi everyone,
Well, I started my foray into hardboiled. I've been on the
list, and
have enjoyed the posts/discussions. I was always hesitant to
join in, as
I wasnt even quite sure WHAT hard-boiled is! Thanks to all for
the great
suggestions!
While at my fave used bookstore, I saw BLOSSOM by Andrew
Vachss. The
author's name rang a bell, so I got it. It so happens I grew up
in "the
region", so this was an added bonus. I liked the book, but must
say that
he was in a parallel universe to the one I recall! The roads
and
geographical stuff was familiar..but it ended there! All that
aside..he
drew me in, and I truly enjoyed the book. I have sent it on to
my
sister, so can't say the year of pub. Was it an early one? Is
it part of
a series? Have any of you read it? What did you think of the
book???
Next, I read FLESH WOUNDS by Stephen Greenleaf. This book is
great! I
will be on the lookout for more of his.
Prior to the last year, I was a reader who bought off
the
grocery-shelf. So, basically read what was easily available.
I
appreciate rara-avis and dorothyl for the great suggestions.
THANKS!
