These mystery oldies from Poison Pen Press are being republished, so I'm getting them just like new books that I review. I partly like to review them because I'm interested in history and it's fun to see what people thought about "current" events, not knowing what happened in the next few years, like we do. I also prefer older mysteries to cozy mystery because they're still trying out new ways to tell crime stories and I find that interesting. Cozy mysteries are very formula written and sometimes hardly spend time on the mystery. To me, solving the puzzle (me or the detective) is the whole point of reading mysteries.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-60279983663135814522017-09-11T17:04:21.882-05:002017-09-11T17:04:21.882-05:00Debbie, what prompts you to review oldies (but goo...Debbie, what prompts you to review oldies (but goodies!) like this?
