Status Updates From Het Stoomvarken

A very interesting Mystery. The series started strong.

Continuing my focus on books from the 1970s, this month. South Africa is, let us say, a distinctive 70s locale. This is the first novel in a series; the actual first book that I read in the series was The Artful Egg, which was suggested in Keating's Crime & Mystery: The 100 Best Books. Then I went on to a few others, and now I'm reading The Steam Pig, as suggested by The Crown Crime Companion.

Looking forward to this; loved The Sun Dog, which is a prequel to this opener in the series, even though I'm pretty sure Sun Dog was last one published! Meanwhile, I think I will run out of fresh reads for my March 'Stuck in the Seventies' reading project, and don't want to buy more. My Night Stone 'cheat' will help fill up days; after that, I've slated one re-read from the 1970s, a creepy 87th Precinct novel.
