I hit a couple of library sale shelves when I was out and about last week, snagging an Anthony Powell I've been searching for, filling in some of my books lists, and finding some new mysteries to try:
Afternoon Men by Anthony Powell. His Dance to the Music of Time is my favorite "book" if you can call a 12-volume series one book. I've been looking for this non-Dance book for quite a while.
Death of an Expert Witness by P. D. James (the 6th Adam Dalgliesh mystery; mine has a different cover than the one below).
Death in Holy Orders by P. D. James (the 11th Adam Dalgliesh mystery).
Hangman's Holiday (1933) by Dorothy L. Sayers (published in 1933; short stories, 4 with Lord Peter Wimsey).
Rough Country by John Sandford (a new one for me; I know nothing about it or the author).
Arctic Chill by Arnaldur Indridason (another new one for me; part of a series set in Reykjavik, Iceland).
I love P.D. James. Death in Holy Orders was sooo good. John Sandford books scare the living daylights out of me. Have fun reading these.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! I don't like scary at all. The Sandford book is getting re-donated to the library.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of your books are not so scary and good reads. I love those library sale shelves!
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for books that are actually scary, so I'll have to keep Sandford in mind.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you found some good books. Enjoy!
I need more mystery books for my shelves. I will definitely look into them. Someone had recommended the Suzanne Collins trilogy and I got hooked. So maybe one of these will peek my interest as well.
ReplyDeleteDeath In Holy Orders sounds good, enjoy! your books.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of PD James and John Sandford, so I think you're in for some good reading.
ReplyDeleteOne of my good friends is a big fan of both James and Sanford so I know you'll probably enjoy those books!
