aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Read this over the weekend. Enjoyed (some wonderful lines) but it could have used an edit. And I did guess who did it. But I’ve also started looking for her other stuff. 110
aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I won’t say the George Cross books necessarily get a lot better, but there is some decent character development and moments of real humor (including some work place comeback lines worth stealing). 130
aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I read all of them—except Maigret on the Defensive—over the first year of my retirement, and have reread many of them since. Highly recommend the Rupert Davies series, as well as the French version with Bruno Cremer (altho that one sort jumps the shark in the last few years). 110
aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Wow. Started it Sunday night and finished yesterday. Many thanks. 010
aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Well, this was fun. Immediately pulled my copy which is called “The Bar on the Seine.” One of my favorites, about 10th of 70, with Simenon still feeling out how his character works. Check out the 1962 BBC adaptation of this book in the series starring Rupert Davies. 110

aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026So glad I didn’t have a mouthful as I read this. Thank you. 030
aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026“Daddy” is one of the scariest books I’ve ever read, and that was before the demolition of Roe v Wade. “The Girls” was great but not in the same class, IMHO (an acronym I’ve never used before). 120

aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Feel lousy w/ sinus infection & cough. Could finish last part of Mme Bovary, reread some Maigrets, start either Sonia & Sunny or Flesh, or browse through the new Norman Lewis anthology. Thoughts? 000

aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I’d even never considered Macdonald until I read his correspondence with Eudora Welty, which I recommend highly. The Archer books are all gems—Macdonald is a master of the last paragraph twist. 110

aecnyc.bsky.social @aecnyc.bsky.social · 31/12/2025This sounds like a great podcast choice. Am a major fan of Timothy West’s reading of some of the major works (thanks to years ago recommendation from @hogglestock.bsky.social). But for the audiobooks, I wouldn’t have any Trollope today. 010
