To both the writer and the readers. A lazy label, merely because there's an absence of violent sex and graphic violence perhaps? But then, Chandler's Marlowe had none of the above, not even swearing down those mean streets...Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351838687296262139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-72991969410479724602020-08-25T08:06:44.700-07:002020-08-25T08:06:44.700-07:00Welcome to the club!

We obviously have similar reading tastes. Are you a member of our reader group on Facebook? Called Lesley Cookman's Libby's Loonies. And the next one comes out at the beginning of October.Lesley Cookmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699182779296799170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-30679278475485928452020-08-25T07:29:50.746-07:002020-08-25T07:29:50.746-07:00I have a confession to make in that I have been gu...I have a confession to make in that I have been guilty on occasion of looking for cosy fiction, but in my defence I would do anything to avoid a heavy duty psycho thriller and prefer to be left wanting for more at the end of a book than traumatised. Now I shall attempt to curry favour by thanking you for many many enjoyable hours spent involved with Libby and her crew. My first choice in reading material is looking for a British detective, over anything American or even from Down (here) Under. Which reminds me to go looking for latest release in hope that I haven’t already had the pleasure.<br /><br />Being over 60 myself I reserve the well earned and deserved right to be dare I say it a Grumpy Old Woman!!Delphicanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134467563161247126noreply@blogger.com
