Well, thanks to all of you and your lists, I have just
returned from the library with five books from authors new to
me. Admittedly, I am a newbie to this subgenre of mysteries,
so you will probably be appalled that I haven't read any of
these authors. The library was hiding most of them in the
Fiction section rather than the Mystery section, which is
where I usually patrol.
I'm excited about the possibility of expanding my list of
authors I look for regularly, and hope one at least of these
will be added: John Harvey
(Cutting Edge); Joseph Hansen (The Boy Who Was Buried This
Morning); Neil Albert (February Trouble); Daniel Woodrell
(Tomato Red); and Charles Willeford (The Shark-Infested
Custard). I also picked up a copy of Hammett's Red Harvest to
re-read.
Now, the problem: which one do I read first? I'm leaning
toward the Willeford just on the strength of the title and
the favorable comments here.
