So when you read your fifteenth book in a mystery series, one would think that you have read most of the books in that series. That unless the author of the series is grandmaster Bill Pronzini and the series is his “Nameless Detective” series. The first book in the series was released in 1971! The total number of books in the series now stands at 40! Yikes, I haven’t even read half of the books! Read More
