Unfortunately, haven't read any of them, Les. But maybe I can squeeze a couple in. I've been dreading going to the library because I have so much left unread at home. Trying not to feel overwhelmed, not always succeeding.

Just finishing up Rex Stout's WHERE THERE'S A WILL for the umpteenth time, it's one of those I always enjoy reading. It features some of Stout's best writing, I think.

I havent' read any of them either, Yvette - I may try a couple of them over the summer. Also, it has been a long time since I reread "Where There's a Will"...another one to add to the TBR pile...sigh...
