I agree that even worse are the "Elizabeth Thatcher" follow-on titles you refer to (there are at least two of them!), which, as you note, purport to be by Emma Lathen, but clearly can't be since Mary Jane Latsis passed away in 1997. I'm guessing that perhaps Deaver Brown got the rights to the name/characters and not just the books - if such a thing is possible? And even more guessing/wild speculation, since you found Harvard in Deaver's past - that maybe he has known Martha Henissart (the surviving author) since mutual Harvard days, so maybe that's how he got the rights? I would have to assume that some other more reputable publishers like Open Road or Poisoned Pen Press or Wildside Press would have tried to get the rights too. (Keep in mind this is total speculation on my part!!!)
Since the Elizabeth Thatcher titles are KU, I started to read one of them, thinking it might be a nice series continuation - along the lines, say, of Robert Goldsborough's continuations of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe series, most of which I've liked. Instead it was so bad (poor writing, huge injection of politics, minimal mystery plot) that I quit and returned it part way through, and I almost never quit part way through. I did buy Something in the Air at $0.99, to experiment with liberating and reformatting the text, since I would like to have better digital copies of the original books than the pdf scans of ancient brown-paged paperbacks that I made myself. But I'm still debating whether to give this person any more money at all - I may cut off my nose to spite my face since I agree with you and really object to what he has done. BTW, I assume you are also aware that Latsis and Hennisart wrote a few titles in another series using the pen name RB Dominic? Not available as ebooks, but a few of them are available at fairly reasonable prices as used DTB (and some others are outrageously priced as DTB...). Quote:

I don't think I've ever thanked you, Mort1997 for all the Endeavour Press freebies, so
![]() And especially for all the various international flavors of Amazon links - I am far too lazy to do that, and really appreciate that you do! Quote:

Arthur Hailey
There seems to be some sort of sale going on, in Amazon.in Kindle store.
As part of this noticed that Arthur Hailey's Detective and Airport are priced at just 14.80 Rs. I can see a reduced price in Amazon US too: 0.22$ (easy to find, so not posting links) Not sure if this has been on for some time, but I noticed this just now and Since I had some hidden promo cash, it just took me about 10 secs to buy both! I had already read these a long time back, but well worth another read. |

Wow! I didn't know there was a last Amelia Peabody coming, and I like Joan Hess' books, so hopefully it will be a good continuation/completion...
Thanks for the info! Quote:
