I read all the Hoke Mosley novels back in the late 80s, when
they were released in the yellow- covered paperbacks by
Ballantine? Berkeley? I had never heard of Willeford before,
but I was a fan of John D. McDonald and Florida-based
mysteries, so when I first saw these books in the local
college bookstore (Van's, a huge combination
book/record/video store in West Lafayette, Indiana), I
snapped them up and devoured them very quickly (when I should
have been reading more serious material for my graduate
English classes). I remember loving those books and I'm
pretty sure I held on to them--they're in a box
somewhere--which is not something I do with all the books I
buy. In honor of Willeford month, I'll have to give one of
his other non-series books a try. I did buy and enjoy the
video of _The Woman Chaser_ based on discussion here on this
list, and I think I've got several of his other books
somewhere in the bookshelves.
