Hard Case Crime discussion

I did something I don't ever do. I bought six Harlequin books. I ran across them at our local Meijers store (sort of like a Super Walmart for those who don't have one of these near them).

According to some background info in each of these books, they bought a British publisher back around 1949 which seemed to have published many mystery/crime novels in those early days. The covers are retro-50's cool and sound like decent reads. For those interested, here they all are (all part of the Harlequin Vintage Collection):
