My name is Jo-Anne and I am writing my first mystery. Thanks Alex for inviting me to join. Love mysteries and paranormal, supernaturals and most any books."

Welcome Jo Anne!!!

So I have taken the plunge and starting reading this late 18th century novel. The Monk..surprisingly it is quite witty so far..although there is a definate Shakespearian influence as the transition from plays to novels was still fairly new when Lewis wrote this.

I have been reading this series...a classic I never heard of! yet really well done mysteries!

Thanks Werner..not sure if I ever saw any of the films but Tate's name seem to come to mind when thinking of Matt Helm films..she only made a handful of movies tragically

really? never knew that..always enjoyed fritz Lieber the actor in the 1930's films

Curious if anyone has read The Monk..the late 1790's Gothic novel by Matthew Lewis..I have the book for years..yet to read it..but thinking of doing so soon!

Werner wrote: "Yes, Dean Martin (not Burt Reynolds) played Matt Helm in several movie "adaptations" --which actually don't follow the books at all-- back in the 60s. He was spectacularly mis-cast, and the produc..."

OK- thought it was Martin...also nagging thought that Sharon Tate was in one of the Matt Helm films?
also just came to me..Reynolds was Dan August!
