Mon, 12 Oct 1998 14:33:38 -0700 Welcome Robert! I read _Skin Deep, Blood Red_ a few months ago and
enjoyed in thoroughly. I was sorry to hear the series was dropped --
please keep us posted. I hope you find rara-avis as interesting as we
do...

With regard to our recent reading _Phantom Lady_ (which I just finished
this morning on a flight back to Seattle from Boston), I found it wasn't
a bad read overall however it lagged quite a bit in the middle and I had
difficulty getting over the hump.

WARNING -- SPOILER ALERT

Woolrich gave the book an interesting twist at the end. To be honest I
didn't see it coming. I wonder however if the book would have been more
haunting if the wherabouts of the "Phantom Lady" were never known. I
thought her incarceration in a mental institution to be a bit
implausible.
