One of the things I love best about kindle is the way I tend to stumble over great writers/characters while searching for something perhaps remotely related."Customers Who Bought This Also Bought..." I know it's a sales pitch, but it's also a search engine for what you're into.I discovered Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective while searching for Philo Vance & Ellery Queen novels. And I'm so glad that I did. Never heard of him or the writer, Arthur B. Reeve--sounds like a pseudonym to me-- before. But how could a lover of series detectives resist a 2000+ page collection of 13 novels for $1.99? Even it if was awful, what could I lose?Far from awful, this collection and its recurring characters are as captivating as Freeman's Dr Thorndyke series. If you love superior detective fiction of the non-hardboiled variety, don't pass on this great deal.
