Took a bit of a sidestep from my hard boiled PI novel reading to read the latest collection of Ms Tree comics. I think this series is what led to my reading mysteries at all. This is the first time these stories have ever been collected and probably the first time I’ve read them since the 80s. They absolutely hold up and I hope these reprints go on long enough to collect the whole series. #thismakesmehappy #books #2023reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #mysterycomics #crimecomics #mstree #maxallancollins #terrybeatty #hardcasecrime #titanbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVd51gP9Vx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After finally watching #RoadToPerdition from 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣2️⃣, one of the first things I noticed in the opening credits (aside from the stellar cast) was that @tylerhoechlin played Michael Sullivan, Jr. 👀 I don't think director #SamMendes, #TomHanks, #DanielCraig, #JudeLaw, or any of the people involved had any idea he'd grow up to play Superman. 🤯I'm obviously very late to the party, but this tale of mobsters, revenge, and fathers and sons set in 1931 was the final live action film for the great #PaulNewman. 😔 Craig was four years away from being 007 but already showing how versatile an actor he would become. Adapted from a graphic novel by #MaxAllanCollins and #RichardPiersRayner, it's streaming on @disneyplusph and definitely a must-watch. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZnZ97vtKU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy book birthday to GIRL MOST LIKELY by Max Allan Collins 🎉 I am just over halfway through this book, and it is soooo good! I’ve always loved Max Allan Collins writing so this novel does not disappoint. I can’t wait to see how it ends. . 👮🏻♀️ . Thank you to @littlebirdpublicity for sending me an early copy! . Summary: . In a small Midwest town, twenty-eight-year-old Krista Larson has made her mark as the youngest female police chief in the country. She’s learned from the best: her father, Keith, a decorated former detective. But as accustomed as they are to the relative quiet of their idyllic tourist town, things quickly turn with Krista’s ten-year high school reunion. With the out-of-towners holed up in a lakefront lodge, it doesn’t take long to stir up old grudges and resentments. Now a successful TV host, Astrid Lund, voted the “Girl Most Likely to Succeed”—and then some—is back in town. Her reputation as a dogged reporter has made the stunning blonde famous. Her reputation among her former classmates and rivals has made her infamous. Astrid’s list of enemies is a long one. And as the reunion begins, so does a triple murder investigation. Krista and her father are following leads and opening long-locked doors from their hometown to the Florida suburbs to Chicago’s underworld. They just never imagined what would be revealed: the secrets and scandals of Krista’s own past. . 👮🏻♀️ . #girlmostlikely #maxallancollins #thomasandmercer #littlebirdpublicity #bookbirthday #apriltbrlist #jennblogsbooks #bookstagramming #bookgram #mybookfeatures #libraryofinstagram #bookfeaturepage #bookphotography #bookpage #booksofinstagram #bookaesthetic #booktography #bookcommunity #goodreads #bookriot #bookcollector #readinglife #bookseverywhere #bookhoarder https://www.instagram.com/jennblogsbooks/p/Bvu9nz_FibZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mws42wnohip8

The new Nathan Heller novel by Max Allan Collins, the first one published by @hard_case_crime, is great! Each book in the series puts Chicago private eye in the middle of a historical mystery; this one is set in 1955 and 1958 and features the Bobby Greenlease kidnapping, a horrible crime I had never heard of before this book. While the series has been running for decades, this book is a great jumping on point, and I’m looking forward to the next one, coming later this year from HHC. The first book in the series, True Detective, may have been my introduction to private eye/crime/noir fiction, after learning about Collins from his comic with @terrybeattyart, Ms Tree (also currently being reprinted by HHC). Even if I’d read Hammett’s Maltese Falcon before Collins, this series would be the one that made me a passionate fan of the genre, and thus in part shaped who I am today. I’d love to see the entire series reissued with gorgeous covers like this—and yes, I’d buy the whole series again for the covers—but regardless, I hope the Heller series has found a long-term home here. #thismakesmehappy #books #2023reading #bookstagram #mystery #detectivefiction #nathanheller #maxallancollins #bigbundle #hardcasecrime #titanbooks #truecrimefiction #greenleasekidnapping https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP6vpfJIK3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Birthday to Mickey Spillane!
Celebrate by watching the 2012 Mr. Media interview with the novelist’s modern-day Mike Hammer writing partner, Max Allan Collins! (Conducted by Bob Andelman)
MAX ALLAN COLLINS podcast excerpt: “Mickey Spillane is theMike Hammer guy. My job is to finish these books in a way that Mickey would be satisfied and maybe even pleased with. I can’t imagine doing any Mike Hammers that are 100 percent out of whole cloth. There are a lot of first chapters. I have a file cabinet drawer of unfinished Mickey Spillane. I anticipate 10 new books including a short story anthology.”
