I will look forward to reading that.<br /><br />I am highly gratified by your decision to post a Nielsen salute.

I have to read more of her novels. I have <i>Obit Delayed</i> and about six others just sitting on my shelf. Thanks to your comment I've decided to do a salute to Helen in July 2014.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-66399355188078820312014-06-09T12:43:04.941-05:002014-06-09T12:43:04.941-05:00I have just discovered Helen Nielsen in the form o...<br /> <br /> I have just discovered Helen Nielsen in the form of <i>Obit Delayed</i>, and I am highly impressed.<br />======================<br /> Detectives Beyond Borders<br />"Because Murder Is More Fun Away From Home"<br /> http://www.detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com <br />Peter Rozovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977933481463759162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-15679215879745283142013-05-10T16:48:27.490-05:002013-05-10T16:48:27.490-05:00This is the edition I own.

Though there are several copies with the DJ for sale no seller had uploaded a photo to their catalogs. Bummer. I was stuck with this paperback. I don't like it either. And those knives! Ugh. But a very good book. Nielsen only got better as time went on. Check out "Death Scene" sometime. Vera Miles really had the stuff in her heydayJ F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-72143363028414473062013-05-10T16:23:36.539-05:002013-05-10T16:23:36.539-05:00Sounds good, John.

Not the impression I suppose they were going for. :)<br /><br />But that won't stop me reading the book if I come across it at some point. Thanks for another terrific review.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.com
