They all write wonderful series.<br /><br />If you want help in finding these authors' books in series order, go to this website, where you can look up crime fiction authors by their last names: http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/<br /><br />At that website, you can also find series by location, occupation of protagonist, name of protagonist, etc.Georgette Spelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853710671433406351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-54604541933905045192011-11-23T12:06:17.488-05:002011-11-23T12:06:17.488-05:00I'd like to say thanks to you Deadlyites for y...I'd like to say thanks to you Deadlyites for your suggestions. I haven't read Siger, Hallinan, Pattison, or Recacoechea but I've been trying to add more foreign settings to my mysteries and these sound good. I tried Leighton Gage and colin Cotterill at your recomendation and those books are great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-1154216692463838742011-11-22T11:17:09.783-05:002011-11-22T11:17:09.783-05:00Della, thanks very much for the introduction to Bo...Della, thanks very much for the introduction to Bolivian writer Juan de Recacoechea Saénz. AMERICAN VISA sounds great, and I was thrilled to see that another book he wrote is available in English. It's called ANDEAN EXPRESS, and it's about a 24-hour train ride between La Paz and Arica, Chile, during which a murder takes place. Yippee! I love trains, and when a train provides a closed-room setting for a murder, I'm in heaven.<br /><br />I'll share recommendations for Boris Akunin's Erast Fandorin series, fascinating historical fiction set in Czarist Russia (best read in order, although not absolutely necessary; first is THE WINTER QUEEN). Another book of historical fiction, REVENGER by Rory Clements, set during the reign of Elizabeth I and involving intelligencer John Shakespeare, commissioned to discover what happened to the Roanoke colony in North America and to spy on the Earl of Essex, who has designs on the throne.Georgette Spelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853710671433406351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-82092136920844855382011-11-21T20:37:16.366-05:002011-11-21T20:37:16.366-05:00My iPad froze up wow, to conclude other books I ma...My iPad froze up wow, to conclude other books I may read this weekend that are seasonal are Joanne Dobson's Raven and the Nightingale, a Karen Pelletier mystery that includes a deadly stabbing on Thanksgiving day, or I may reread Margaret Maron's Up Jumps The Devil. The choice is Northern, Southern or neighborly with different menu's in each.Maltese Condorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327846051123983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-44427901980237644132011-11-21T20:18:00.475-05:002011-11-21T20:18:00.475-05:00I am looking forward to trying American Visa.

The availability of books, the time to read them and the vision to make it all possible is one of the pleasures of life that I realize is a gift not to be taken lightly. There are of course more important things like life,family, health and you too know the list.<br /><br />I can assure you though that some how I will find time on Thursday to read a little. It may be Thanksgiving themed like Louise Penny's Still Life<br />,Maltese Condorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327846051123983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-21201146348459802402011-11-21T19:31:15.242-05:002011-11-21T19:31:15.242-05:00Thanks, Della.

This is a caper and historical fiction with a deathbed narration by Marquis Eduardo de Valfierno. He recruited a crew to steal the famous painting from the Louvre in 1911. The idea was to pass off copies to rich Americans before returning the real masterpiece to the museum. NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
