Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. Now I'm glad I went back to read more. Fabulous stuff. I hope I'll be able to get my hands on more of his books.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-35770003111553085092015-12-01T03:34:07.254-05:002015-12-01T03:34:07.254-05:00Great review Yvette - I used to love Macdonald'...Great review Yvette - I used to love Macdonald's books and have most of them - been a while since I read MYSTERY OF THE DEAD POLICE, which I thiought was very good indeed, but must get back to Gethryn - thanks, as ever.

But mostly they still work very well. My favorites are WARRANT FOR X and THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER, though MURDER GONE MAD and MYSTERY OF THE DEAD POLICE are also worth looking for.

I also loved ADRIAN MESSENGER, but I read that a while ago and I think I liked WARRANT FOR X more. I'm currently looking for a copy of the MESSENGER book since I can't seem to find my old one on my shelves and of course, the library has no Philip MacDonald books available.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-33121193956435128352015-11-27T06:50:59.417-05:002015-11-27T06:50:59.417-05:00I must look for this as The List of Adrian Messing...I must look for this as The List of Adrian Messinger is one of my favorite books.
