Absolute Mystery


Leafing through the latest edition of The Absolute Sound tonight, I was surprised to see Robert Harley's half-page plug for Jonathan Valin's old out of print mystery novels, apparently now being revived for sale on Amazon's Kindle website. The plug does not appear to be a paid advertisement for Mr Valin's books. Rather, its just another article for the TAS readership to pore over. This strikes me as inappropriate and frankly unprofessional. Am I wrong?

Once someone had established him/her self it its common to see the occasional divergence. A rapport of sorts is already happening between writer and reader with feedback in print. Is it really too far fetched to see someone share a part of themselves?

In the spirit of Al's recommendation, I'd like to add Algis Burdys' "Who?"
It's been decades since I've read it but I remember it being a good thriller in a sci/fi vein.

All the best,
