New cop fiction: Asher Roth’s “Beyond a Shadow” (found in anthology The Temporal)…
What do the experts think? Great story, but realistic?
I’m looking for a short story from the 1960s about a sewing machine salesman mistaken for a spy. I believe it was published in a double issue of Ellery Queen’s mystery magazine. I’d appreciate any help you can give me.
was that a graham greene story?
I think you are looking for The Belkamp Apparatus by Jacob Hay
May I shout iut Chris Brookmyre. A damn fine Scots author.
Hi,
I’m an author of a thriller series, The UrbanKnights. I’m self-publishing and trying to find a way to reach my audience. I’d love a review from you – my website, jamesroby.net can introduce you to my heroes. Thanks
There’s an email address above for you to use. When we’re busy, however, it’s not possible to respond to every email we receive. Apologies if this has been the case.
I am on Book 6 “The Unquiet”. It mentions the Collector in a way as if he has appeared in previous books. I don’t recall any mention of this character in any of the five earlier stories. Please help.
I am looking for a novel set on the west coast of Canada – probably Vancouver Island. Someone is killed. An aboriginal person is accused. A lighthouse keeper figures in the story.
That is all I can remember except that the writing was so beautiful I was fully in the woods around and in this story.
Can you recall the name of the novel or the author. Or suggest other areas to look. Many thanks
Just a quick word of thanks to all at CFL for your reviews and pointers towards books and authors who I may otherwise have missed.
Your time and effort is much appreciated.
Hi Paddy – thanks for your kind words, and thank you for reading the site!
Ann, Greetings from Canada.
I stumbled upon you while watching your video dialogue with my dearly favoured author Louise Penny. I have delighted in your presence online via your bio, book descriptions and reviews.
At 90 years of age my life is limited via a wheelchair in a Grimsby, Ontario retirement residence so reading is a passion. My ancestral roots are in Devon and I am eagerly awaiting a boxed set of your Vera Stanhope series.
You might like to take a Google peak at Grace Cowling and or Grace Ireland Cowling. and or The Pencil Art Society.
Kind regards

Love the website — it’s led me down a number of interesting side trails. I’m looking for a haunting story that was printed in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine in the mid-1960s. Story is set in Door County WI, and the only part that I can remember is that a car full of kids returning home from a basketball game (sometime in the 1920s-40s, I think) fell through the ice, killing all aboard. Story may have been written by Robert L. Fish. Thanks in advance for any help!
You did an interview with Michael Koryta in 2015, in which he said he was 300 pages into Echoes, a sequel to Last Words, but I can find no subsequent information about the book. Was Echoes ever published?
How do I stop, or slow down, book covers wizzing past before I’ve had chance to properly take them in?
