Looking foward to reading the next episode of Alex Beer’s « Isaak Rubinstein » in the crime novel called « Unter Woelfen ».

#OTD in 1989, the Belgian writer Georges #Simenon died, aged 86. I enjoyed reading his « Commissaire #Maigret » very much, but I also liked the film versions with Jean #Gabin or Bruno #Cremer.

Peter Marsh’s The Devil’s Daughter, published 1942. Unconventional noir with a femme fatale who doesn't fit the usual mould. A story of love and lust, of hate, of revenge and of suspicion and betrayal. Great stuff.

Yesterday was the release day of Catherine Ryan Howard's new crime thriller THE TRAP.

She is a local author from Cork and like clockwork every year at this time she has a new book out.

I read this in one single setting which these days is highly unusual for me. I always enjoy her novels but this could quite possibly be my favourite of hers.

It has such a clever structure that it would be unfair to say more though. (Also running out of space.)

August Derleth's Solar Pons stories are among the very few Sherlock Holmes pastiches actually worth reading. Well-crafted and very entertaining and they feel Sherlockian. Derleth doesn’t make the mistake of trying for a tongue-in-cheek flavour.

The Green Ribbon is a 1929 Edgar Wallace thriller involving an ingenious horse-racing racket with a large and varied collection of villains. And an elaborate system of caves and tunnel, a classic Wallace touch. Top-tier Wallace. Great stuff.

Mickey Spillane’s 1964 novel The Snake is a sequel to The Girl Hunters and you absolutely must read The Girl Hunters first. This is a very different Mike Hammer - older, wiser and sadder. Both books are great, but read the earlier books first.

Sin Pit (1954) is Paul S. Meskil’s only novel. It's seriously hardboiled, most definitely noir and pretty sleazy. This is the seamy underside of 1950s America. A cynical cop gets drawn into a nightmare world of lust. Excellent book.

Leslie Charteris's The Saint Goes West, a 1942 collection of three Saint novellas. A transitional slightly Americanised version of Simon Templar which for me works less well than the earlier and later versions. But the stories are excellent.

W.R. Burnett's High Sierra, a great noir novel by a great writer. A bank robber just out of jail gets mixed up in a heist with a bunch of amateurs and a girl. He used to be a big shot. Now he's tired and fatalistic. The book packs a real punch.
