I started strong with Gruber’s stuff, when I plucked his novel The Whispering Master off a list of recommended Mysteries with music as the focus. It was, for me, the sort of book that makes me want to read all of his novels, unless, say, I read 5 lousy ones in a row. That hasn’t happened, and I doubt it will. The Talking Clock was no Whispering Master…but it was still terrific, as is the start of this one.

This will be the first book I read from my newly-cobbled-together TBR called “Goodis, MacDonald and Friends”. The idea - once I realized I had 4 David Goodis novels and 4 R. MacDonald novels - is 30 mostly Noir choices that I already own. I’m excited - and this will have to be interwoven with my “Creepy Reading List” for the season. French Key probably paired with Bussi’s Lying in Wait (cuz Bussi’s, y’know, French).
