THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE

[Eric Christopherson]

Some of my favorite titles (and books):

THE MALTESE FALCON 

MISERY

L.A. REQUIEM

DARKNESS TAKE MY HAND

EVERYBODY DIES

[Susan]

Good ones. Love Misery and L.A.Requiem, but my favorite is DARKNESS TAKE MY HAND.

[Shean Baylor]

Wake Up Dead by Roger Smith

[Susan]

Actually, I always liked What to Do in Denver When You're Dead ...

[Linton Robinson]

Saw one called "Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy"

[Linton Robinson]

I REALLY like "Death: An Introduction"  but it's poetry, not crime.   Shame.  Of course, it's still available.  :-)

[I. J. Parker]

Hmm.  Sounds depressing.

 

Just published THE LEFT-HANDED GOD. Things aren't perfect in His creation.

[Richard Krauss]

The Alienist by Caleb Carr

Skinwalkers by Tony Hillerman

The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson

[Susan]

Love all the cool titles. How about favorite first lines??   Here's mine.

"This gun is not a gun."

[from the granddaddy of all spy novelists, John LeCarre in Single & Single.

[Benjamin Sobieck]

"Wake the Undertaker," by Joe Clifford

[Susan]

I like it. In fact I liked it so much I went to Amazon and checked out the description. Sounds like a cool book. I added it to my wish list.
