Got side-tracked reading Earl Derr Biggers' BEHIND THAT CURTAIN, the third Charlie Chan novel from 1928. I've read a lot of Jazz Age novels and the style and voice are often a slow trudge to wade through. Not here. Aside from the structure of the novel, Biggers writes with an almost modern voice. And his treatment of Asian races is a welcome relief from the Yellow Peril meme that was popular at the time. I've always found the Chan movies a guilty pleasure, but Biggers' novels deserve a reprinting with notes on our changing society.

Wow! Those make Foyle's and Waterstones (now without the apostrophe) look like simple bookstalls. Thanks. Larry!
