Rhonda wrote: No Time For Goodbye was really good. I haven't read No Safe House yet. I am still trying to decide whether to read No Time for Goodbye again before No Safe House. It will mean looking through a whole bunch of boxes to find it.

*The Root of His Evil

Has anyone read any of the above?

Never heard of them, let alone read them, Paul!!!

Paul Janet wrote: "Never heard of them, let alone read them, Paul!!!"

Neither had i, which is why i mention them. James M. Cain wrote 'Double Indemnity' & 'The Postman Always Knocks Twice', both of which were made into movies. I've seen both & thought i had all his books, so i was surprised to find so many i hadn't come across before.

message 950: by Paul (new)

Paul Called into my local Hospice shop this morning to donate several books & thought i may as well have a quick look-see. Wasn't expecting to find anything, as they seem to have mostly 'popular-but-boring' books. But then i spotted Scaredy Cat (Tom Thorne, #2) by Mark Billingham & Sleepers by Lorenzo Carcaterra . $6 for the both of them. I didn't realize 'Sleepers' was made into a film, starring Brad Pitt
Minnie Driver
Robert De Niro
Kevin Bacon
Dustin Hoffman, among other well known actors.

Both books & movie look really good. Clearly i will have to call into the Hospice shop more often.
