I agree! I love Lanyon's contemporaries, and frankly I think he creates a great the atmosphere weather in a historical or a contemp. It's the one thing I love about all his books -- he transports you to the spot. :) <br /><br />Nath, lol... yeah! I still have lots to books to read and enjoy. <br /><br />I'm also getting the rest of The Petit Morts series at one point or another. I need to begin with the first one. :PHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-38459054919447289902011-04-30T11:42:13.476-04:002011-04-30T11:42:13.476-04:00Isn't it great for you that Mr Lanyon is such ...Isn't it great for you that Mr Lanyon is such a prolific author!

Dangerous Ground (an...Sounds like the perfect day!<br /><br />Dangerous Ground (and its two sequels) are actually amongst my favourite Lanyon novellas. Then again, I'm a sucker for friends to lovers (+ angst) ;-)<br /><br />I'm impressed by how Josh Lanyon gets the historical atmosphere/voice right, but I have to admit my faves are still his contemporary stories.Lihttp://bookdaze.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-71420042393002179572011-04-30T09:00:16.947-04:002011-04-30T09:00:16.947-04:00Indi, it was such a pleasure to spend my Friday re...Indi, it was such a pleasure to spend my Friday reading Lanyon! I actually picked up 2 other books Saturday morning and finished those before going on to other authors. :) You MUST read <i>Somebody Killed His Editor</i> soon! Kit, my second favorite character by Lanyon, is in that book. <br /><br />Daniel, I'm so glad you also enjoyed reading Snowball in Hell. :) <br /><br />Orannia, enjoy Snowball in Hell. I loved the "atmosphere." <br />RE: Dangerous Ground. Both characters are gay, no GFY. And yes, the characters have been partners for a long time, and although both are gay, they've never been personally involved with each other.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-80202811528243355172011-04-30T08:30:03.624-04:002011-04-30T08:30:03.624-04:00@orianna - Everyone who has read Somebody Killed H...@orianna - Everyone who has read <i>Somebody Killed His Editor</i> raves about it.

I love the 40s and so far am enjoying the book. I haven't read Dangerous Ground, but it has an interesting sounding premise. Question - are the characters both gay or is this a GFY? I thought the author usually wrote the former, but wasn't sure with Dangerous Ground as it sounds like the characters have been friends/partners for a while...<br /><br />And I look forward to hearing what else you bought for Saturday :0<br /><br />@Indigene - I was lucky enough to win both Holmes & Moriarity books from the author over Christmas and devoured them.

...Hils,<br /><br />You sure did go on a Lanyon marathon! WOW!<br /><br />I still haven't read <i>Somebody Killed His Editor</i>. I bought it in print on one of my book shopping sprees in Toronto last summer and it's still in my TBR. Although lately I've been craving a re-read of the Adrien English Mysteries Series.
