This is an unsolicited and wonderfully surprise contribution to Friday's Forgotten Books from Gerard Saylor, Library Director at Lake Mills Library in Wisconsin, who has quite a nice inventory of audio book reviews you can find on you tube. I went through them after seeing this one.
But this is his pick for this week, a forgotten writer, and a great change of pace. I am so happy he sent it our way. I think we will all be looking for these books. I am going to post the rest separately below.
This was fun! I hope more contributors go video!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. I've read and enjoyed the five Harstad books about Carl Houseman, all set in northeastern Iowa, and recommend them highly.

PS - I can see George doing a video, perhaps from the stacks of the Kelley Collection.
Yes, George. It is time to go down in the vault. Diane can film it.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are 5 Harstad/Houseman titles so far:
ReplyDeleteEleven Days (1998)
Known Dead (1999)
Big Thaw (2000)
Code 61 (2002)
A Long December (2003)

Come on, George - do it!
You could be the mystery world's equivalent of John Goodman in Treme!
What a neat way to do it.
ReplyDeleteGerard is a good guy (certainly fair) ... and if I didn't post this, he'd think I stopped stalking him.
ReplyDeleteI loved the idea the author was pitching about whacking a few CEO's ... what a GREAT idea!
I sure hope he sells a few books after this nice tribute.
ReplyDeletePatti - What a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing this! He comes across well on the video, too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this. What a great idea...I'm already thinking about dusting off my vid camera.
ReplyDeleteI can think of another very good mystery series set in small-town Iowa - the Sam McCain books by Ed Gorman.
