Over the years have read thousands of mysteries. I thought I would do capsule introductions of three authors I enjoy each day for the next few weeks. I will start with British, going alphabetically, then move to American, and then rest of the world.
Andrew Garve: Also writing under the names Rober Bax and Paul Somers, he wrote crime fiction including mysteries, thrillers and spy novels from the late 1930 to the late 1970's. A number are cold-war based with forays into Russia settings or outdoors adventure with sailing or mountain climbing. Relative short , fast reads. My favorite of his straight mysteries is The Cuckoo Line Affair, Relative short fast reads. they are great to while away an afternoon, but you have to track them down used.
Elizabeth George: One of the American writers with a popular, successful British police series with the upper class DI Lynley and the working class Sargent Barbara Havers. The books are highly readable and usually well plotted, though a character or two I could mention are nearly insufferable. The development of Havers over time is the best part. Series begins with 1988's A Great Deliverance and the latest just came out.
Michael Gilbert: Writing from 1947 to 1998, Gilbert can be a little hard to pin down. Smallbone Deceased is a nice legal mystery. Several of his books fall neatly in to some what cozy Golden age territory like the Cathedral set Close Quarters and Black Seraphim. The Presence of Inspector Hazelrigg signals a more traditional mystery while Petrella leans more toward thriller. He also wrote thrillers and bit darker, noirish crimes. A few are available in kindle, but most have been reissued as trade paperbacks
Scott Gilbert is a distinguished evolutionary biologist, so it may be convenient for creationists to think that he said the following;
>Genetics might be adequate for explaining microevolution, but microevolutionary changes in gene frequency were not seen as able to turn a reptile into a mammal or to convert a fish into an amphibian. Microevolution looks at adaptations that concern the survival of the fittest, not the arrival of the fittest... The origin of species — Darwin’s problem — remains unsolved.
I was at first provided this quote, but it was impossible to tell where it came from because the citation was not given and the vast majority of the many websites which reproduce this quote also do not produce the citation. In any case, upon request, the source for the quote was provided, in which it clearly turned out that this was just a quote-mine and so does not support creationism. The paper it appears in is a 1996 paper titled "Resynthesizing Evolutionary and Developmental Biology", here is the full context of the quote;
>The Modern Synthesis is a remarkable achievement. However, starting in the 1970s, many biologists began questioning its adequacy in explaining evolution. Genetics might be adequate for explaining microevolution, but microevolutionary changes in gene frequency were not seen as able to turn a reptile into a mammal or to convert a fish into an amphibian. Microevolution looks at adaptations that concern only the survival of the fittest, not the arrival of the fittest. As Goodwin (1995) points out, ‘‘the origin of species—Darwin’s problem—remains unsolved.’’ This reexamining of the Modern Synthesis has led to three great re-discoveries in modern biology. These are the simultaneous rediscoveries of macroevolution, homology, and the morphogenetic field. A new synthesis is emerging from these three areas, and this developmentally oriented synthesis may soon be able to explain macroevolutionary as well as microevolutionary processes. (pg. 361)
Gilbert is pretty obviously not saying here that macroevolution simply can't happen. In fact, he's simply speaking to a concern that some evolutionary biologists had from time to time up until the 1970s, i.e. that microevolution on its own cannot be our full explanation of how macroevolution works. And this was correct. As Gilbert then goes on to discuss literally in just the next few pages, Stephen Jay Gould came out with his theory of punctuated equilibrium in this time, and showed that mi

In The Exorcist, G.C.S's interaction with his friend, Father Dyer, had me rolling on the floor and truly sad at other times. The chemistry between those two is some of the best I've seen between actors in any film, regardless of genre.
The Changeling scene that most got me was where he goes to the Senator's house to give him the medallion and video tape. The interaction between those two was perfect, so believable. The Senator asking how much money he wants while G.C.S just walks off saying, "I'm sorry", was a blow of extraordinary proportions.
