Books And Authors I Like:

My most-recent discovery is Henning Mankell, the Swedish author of the Kurt Wallander detective series. I have also recently decided that an English mystery writer, B. M. Gill, may just be the best myster writer of all time. I don't like thrillers. I love Raymond Chandler. The list of my likes is long.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:

Masterpiece Mystery Series, Homicide: Life on the Streets (now long dead), The Glass Key, The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown.
