Book Review – Dress Her in Indigo – John D. McDonald

August 26, 2014 by William F. Brown

A book review by Bill Brown of John D McDonald’s Travis McGee mystery story,  “Dress Her in Indigo.”   I think I discovered John D.

July 28, 2014 by William F. Brown

Book Review of Robert Tannenbaum’s “Tragic” by William F Brown. I used to love this series and read all of Tannenbaum’s excellent thriller novels and bought the new book as soon as it came out. Robert K. Tannenbaum has published 25 novels, perhaps a dozen of which feature crime busting New York City DA Butch Karp, […]

The Hunter and The Outfit, Richard Stark’s Thriller Novels

June 27, 2014 by William F. Brown

The Hunter and The Outfit were written by Donald E. Westlake, who was one of the most amazing and perhaps least known American writers of the 20th Century. As unbelievable as it sounds, he was the author of over 100 thriller novels, screenplays, and short story collections written under 14 pen names, both male and […]

Book Review – Flowers From Berlin – Noel Hynd – Thriller Novels

June 22, 2014 by William F. Brown

“Flowers From Berlin” by Noel Hynd was first published in hardback 1985. Kindle released the “25th Anniversary Edition” last year, and while I don’t quite understand Amazon math, like “Day Of the Jackal,” in 1971, “The Eagle Has Landed,” in 1975, and “Eye of the Needle,” in 1978,” it remains one of the standards of […]

Book Review – “Deadly Stillwater” suspense fiction by Roger Stelljes

June 19, 2014 by William F. Brown

Deadly Stillwater is the third book of what is currently a five-book series of police, action-adventure suspense fiction set in St. Paul, Minnesota. No doubt, there will be more to come. Although series books are very much in vogue these days; I usually dislike them, because they all-too-often cheat the reader. I feel a story should […]
