Walked into a dinky little thrift store in a small Florida town this morning and found these paperbacks. I’d been on a run of bad hunting luck lately. Maybe the worm has turned.
I finally found a copy of this book and read it…and loved it! Perly Dunsmore is a great villain.
I found these today at a Friends of the Library sale. With all the other stuff I bought they ended up being ten cents apiece.
This book has the biggest plot twist of any book I’ve ever read. I think most authors wouldn’t dare to even attempt it. When it dropped, I thought it was too much. But I kept reading and I must admit, the author did a pretty good job of selling it.
How did it take me so long to discover Andrew Garve? Why isn’t he talked about more? I love his work. I bought these dirt cheap and feel like I struck gold.
Look what I found on my travels today. A compilation of 47 short stories and one novel by one of my favorite authors. I didn’t know this book existed until today.
Here’s another winner by the great Bruno Fischer. Simon Field’s sultry girlfriend has been involved in multiple killings that were ruled self-defense. But lately he’s been wondering…do her accounts all add up? Could the killings actually have been murder?
This is a terrific novel, the second one of Coppel’s I have loved. Why do I never hear his name mentioned in conversations about great thriller writers? This one had me from the get-go. And that cover art…
Great writing at a sentence level. But the femme fatale being only 16 was a bit cringy for me. Would a 38-year-old doctor with a thriving practice really throw it all away to be with a bratty teenager? I had trouble buying in to that notion.
I’ve been having unbelievable paperback luck on this trip. All the books you see here were $2 apiece. No disrespect intended, but many bookstore owners don’t realize what they have. I cleaned them out.
Today I cast my net in Alabama and Tennessee. Here are some of the paperbacks I found.
I’m heading out on another 2,000 mile road trip today, paperback shopping all the way. I’ll show you what I find.
This is a nifty little thriller from 1974 by an author I didn’t know. The back cover blurb got me to pull 50 cents out of my pocket. Maybe it moved a tad slow in places, but it is extremely well-written and fun. I’ll be looking for more of her stuff.
I loved this “Nazi’s are going to rise again” novel. It was my first Murphy, but won’t be my last.
I went to paperbacking today for the first time in a long while. It felt good to get back out there. These were my finds.
