发帖数: 16 | 1 I live in a TV-free place and started reading. I finished a few Sherlock
Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and felt bored. I will have an Agatha
Christie book (including The Mousetrap!) in a few days. Can anyone
recommend some comtemporary spy novels?
I dug out some from Amazon:
Buckley, William F., Saving the Queen
Deighton, Len, XPD
Greene, Graham, The human factor
Le Carre, John, The Russia house
Ludlum, Robert, The Gemini contenders
MacInnes, Helen, The double image

发帖数: 204 | 3 Do you mean detective stories? Maybe check the DetectiveHome on this bbs, or
whatever that board is called. I myself just started a book by Sue Grafton.
Like her story-telling so far. Her stories have an interesting naming
convention which go by the alphabet, e.g. A is for Alibi, B is for Burglar, M
is for Malice, O is for Outlaw, etc.

is very good, the background is WWII and b4 the D-day and the german

one of Reader's Digest compact books back in China. There is also
a movie on it.
