I've heard they have good prices on tires, too, but I don't seem to buy
tires very often. It used to be that I could get a day pass from the
credit union, but I don't know that it's still the case. In any event,
my grocery is fairly competitive, and then there's Home Depot and Lowes.

Not nearly so dark as many other mystery writers. But they are in the
noir genre.

Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh,
Stephanie Barron, Margery Allingham, Leslie Charteris, and
similar are more my type. I have read every mystery each
one has written. At one time I had the complete collection
of Agatha Christie. Sold them in a garage sale. :-(

Have you ever read Ross MacDonald? He would be the strongest influence
on the author. ;-)

I'd have to dig through the boxes-o'-books in the basement
to be sure, but I think yes. There were a couple of other
male mystery writers I liked, I just can't remember the
names.
