> James Hadley Chase -- YOU'RE LONELY WHEN YOU'RE
DEAD
As has already been pointed out, Chase was somewhat of a
trash writer. Then again, his books vary extremely much in
quality and some were way better than others. So, while I
regard "Flesh of the Orchid" as probably some of the worst
drivel ever, I really like e.g. "Strictly for Cash". "You're
Lonely when You're Dead" is not bad; no masterpiece, but
quite readable.
> Jonathan Latimer -- THE LADY IN THE
MORGUE
Very entertaining comedy. Has everything from reefer madness
to the drinking of embalment fluid.
