As good as the PBS Morse episodes are, the novels are better. However, I'm still waiting for the one which reveals Morse's name. I haven't read any of Lynda LaPlante's Prime Suspect books but am told the series are better. That may have something to do with the fact that what laPlante writes was written with TV in mind.

Sounds like you've been listening to some 'ZBS Foundation' material. 'ZBS' is the company that put King's "The Mist" together!! Have you heard any of the other 3D Kunstkopf Binaural offerings that 'ZBS' does as part of its "Cabinet of Dr. Fritz" series? For example: Sticks, The Bleeding Man, The Taj Express Series? And for the fan, "The Maltese Goddess"? Wow! :) Not to mention all the other (non 3D sound) stuff they do: Jack Flanders series, Ruby series, Saratoga Springs, Dishpan Fantasy, Dinotopia, and so forth. And "Lord of the Rings," a 14 hour epic from the BBC. Wow! Um, I suppose you now suspect I'm a fan; I admit it. :) Back to Mystery. I'm currently reading "A Puzzle for Pilgrims," an oldie by Patrick Quentin and am about to start "Blood & Rubles," a Porfiry Petrovich Rostnikov story by Stuart Kaminsky. -< Dennis >- ...

I like the way he FR> writes. I like David Lindsey too. Very good writer. Haven't read any of Tami Hoag. Will look for her. Right now I'm trying to read "Watch Me." First time book for A.J. Holt. It's about a serial killer who's been around for a long time and no one has been able to catch him. Well written but I'm having a hard time getting into it. Pretty scary. Don't know if I'm going to finish it soon. Have Steve Martini's "Simeon Chamber" waiting in the wings. I love his books. Read the other two. Think this is his third one. And I'm trying to concentrate on my own writing. Have one short story that was accepted and will be in print whenever ....? And just sent two more off to be considered for possible upcoming anthology book to be published some time this year. I'm excited. Well Joan, I'll be talking to you later and will keep you posted on what I'm reading. Dorothy FR> Joan FR> * SLMR 2.1a * ... I can't even FIND amok, let alone run one! FR> -!- WM v3.01/93-0495 FR> !
