Such a history would be so nice. I know I have read some by Armstrong, and I think now it must have been some of her later ones, because I remember some of those titles. This one sounds interesting, even the setting, though I am tired of LA, but the time period would be interesting in that respect. <br /><br />I just purchased the Library of America Women Crime Writers set and one of them is a Charlotte Armstrong, so I will get a taste of her work then.<br /><br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-18019323702860760722015-08-30T20:59:39.526+01:002015-08-30T20:59:39.526+01:00She's an interesting writer, Prashant, if you ...She's an interesting writer, Prashant, if you come across any of her books you should give her a go...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-55537413521916025492015-08-30T17:33:43.891+01:002015-08-30T17:33:43.891+01:00Moira, I didn't know about Armstrong and I'...Moira, I didn't know about Armstrong and I'd certainly like to try out her thrillers, which is one of my favourite genres.Prashant C.
