I did read the first Jane Whitefield book and want to continue that series. Also The Butcher's Boy.<br /><br />This one sounds perfect for me. Espionage. I have a few more of his books unread, but I will seek this one out.<br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-25391785022632869022021-09-08T17:03:52.493-05:002021-09-08T17:03:52.493-05:00Diane: The Undertaker's Daughter by Kate Mayfi...Diane: The Undertaker's Daughter by Kate MayfieldSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-49598135203797031102021-09-07T12:35:12.286-05:002021-09-07T12:35:12.286-05:00Hey Sam, What was the title of that NF book you re...Hey Sam, What was the title of that NF book you read/recommended about an "undertaker's ?"(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-34463565631294208812021-09-06T13:54:58.984-05:002021-09-06T13:54:58.984-05:00He's definitely worth another look, Dorothy.

More for me that it was wrapped up kind of suddenly in very few pages when compared to how long the action and build-up went on.

The last book of his that I read (and enjoyed tremendously) was <i>Metzger's Dog</i> several years ago and I had intended to read more of his work but somehow he has slipped through the cracks of my memory. Maybe now I'll finally get back to him.
