It is also my first Creasey. It feels a bit like Nick and Nora - very engaging couple.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-73452083571980080972008-03-13T09:58:00.000+00:002008-03-13T09:58:00.000+00:00Thanks, Shuku; one of the sobering things is that,...Thanks, Shuku; one of the sobering things is that, as you say, Creasey's books were everywhere at one time. Now hardly any of them are in print. But he is definitely worth remembering, and the Gideon books were a significant step in the development of the police procedure novel.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-54267627985815261602008-03-13T09:44:00.000+00:002008-03-13T09:44:00.000+00:00Martin, I stumbled across your blog when I was res...Martin, I stumbled across your blog when I was researching some books and this post, I must say, delighted me no end. John Creasey was a staple in my household when I was growing up! Roger West, Gideon, John Mannering and Richard Rollison were names I grew to apperciate when I got a bit older and went off to university. I've still got some of the books my father kept from all those years ago. Hardly anyone knows this remarkable writer now, which is a pity - he was definitely a good storyteller who could make the written world very real.Shukuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258042395311417934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-69656128621746800402008-03-10T21:50:00.000+00:002008-03-10T21:50:00.000+00:00Yes, I remember the TV series too -with John Gregs...Yes, I remember the TV series too -with John Gregson very well cast as Gideon.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-78795354165101785832008-03-10T12:59:00.000+00:002008-03-10T12:59:00.000+00:00John Creasey was that much maligned writer - a goo...John Creasey was that much maligned writer - a good story teller. I can remember reading his books as a teenager because my mother read them. She was always trying to find yet more of his pseudonyms. I alwasy enjoyed the Gideon books and of course they translated well to television.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00104126307586066155noreply@blogger.com
