Great Mysteries? Simple: Simon
Oh, happy day. Simon Brett is back. I dined on his Charles Paris novels in the ’80s. I delighted in the wondrous Mrs. Pargeter saga. A lot of the reason why I think writing mysteries is the summit of joy is because of Mr. Brett. Today I start reading “Blotto, Twinks, and the Ex-King’s Daughter.” I am a happy boy.
