INCOMING

Kitty dropped her phone this week and broke it.  So off to the phone store we went and came back with smart phones that came with a Kindle app.  And so, by golly, there are some e-books on this list.

• "Jeffrey Ashford" (Roderic Jeffries), Counsel for the Defense.  Mystery, the first of many Jeffries wrote under that name.  This is a Collier paperback; has there ever been a paperback publisher with covers poorer than Collier?

• Richard Dalby, editor, Mistletoe & Mayhem:  Horrific Tales for the Holidays.  Horror anthology.  Thirteen tales, old and new, witha bright spot being a 70-page original story by Basil Copper.
