I've only read one Donahue story from an anthology so this is a treat indeed.<br /><br />The Donahue story I read, "Rough Justice", is terrific. St. Louis in the summer, it's hot, sweat drips from the pages; Donahue's looking for stolen jewels; tough crooks and cops and a crooked lawyer too....it's all wonderful hard-boiled nonsense but the way he wrote was mesmerizing. Objective, yes, but not detached, as some objective writers are. Nebel really made you feel like you were in the story too and you sweat along with Donahue. It's an effect few authors can achieve.Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-8401068780058675812012-08-01T10:57:58.917-07:002012-08-01T10:57:58.917-07:00I have it, but like so much else here, it sits in ...I have it, but like so much else here, it sits in a stack of books I'm planning to get around to one of these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-38875118192852658622012-08-01T08:35:40.389-07:002012-08-01T08:35:40.389-07:00I reviewed both books for the MYSTERY FILE blog. ...I reviewed both books for the MYSTERY FILE blog. I was very impressed with Nebel. If you like Hammett and Chandler, then you have to read Nebel also.<br /><br />Altus Press is doing some excellent pulp reprints and I encourage everyone to support their efforts. Then we will see even more books reprinting the best from the pulps.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-62899967662819499892012-08-01T02:06:24.134-07:002012-08-01T02:06:24.134-07:0015 stories is a number big enough for a series... ...15 stories is a number big enough for a series... and clearly not enough if you love the stories. i think the feeling many of us have with, at least a series as readers.Deka Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328847551867893941noreply@blogger.com
