I would swear I saw this specific edition of this book on a table at the convention. But since I hadn't read James review at the time, pass on it.bebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-42972111857446036682009-08-01T10:04:21.889-05:002009-08-01T10:04:21.889-05:00Great review.

I agree about the story lacking the Brewer signature intensity, but as you pointed out, Brewer was staying true to Keene's style and the original story. I believe Brewer only wrote one other P.I. novel, Wild, which i liked and which reflected more of the Brewer style.Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-45571613825987085922009-07-31T14:27:14.029-05:002009-07-31T14:27:14.029-05:00I would have been a little surprised if you didn&#...I would have been a little surprised if you didn't have the digest, Bill.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-32066033998205225022009-07-31T11:43:23.676-05:002009-07-31T11:43:23.676-05:00I picked up the Manor edition a month ago and will...I picked up the Manor edition a month ago and will read it next.Michael S.
