1. Ovid Demaris
From: Bill Crider
Curt, I've read all those Ovid Demaris titles and enjoyed
them. But that was more than years ago, so I'm not sure how
they'd old up.

I've read a few of his GMs in recentish times & found
them to be a bit ordinary except for Candyleg which in my
opinion holds up very well against other solid GM novels by
the likes of Day Keene & Gil Brewer. A hardboiled heist
novel cum noir love story, I think it's underrated, if rated
at all. If you Google Candyleg you will find a review of the
book with a completely opposed view to my own. I do doubt,
however, that the person reviewing Candyleg would enjoy any
classic Gold Medal novels, as he seems to have problems with
things like 50s slang & hardboiled argot.
(Haven't looked in @ your site, or anywhere much, lately
Bill. I hope Mrs C is going well. She doesn't know me of
course, but give her my best wishes)
