On 22 Dec 96 Robert White said this about that to Maureen Goldman:
 MG>> Robert Barnard writing as Bernard Bastable.  
 RW> What is the title, so I can keep an eye out for it. I've read all of
 RW> Barnard's books that I can find and really love his ironic sense of
 RW> humor.
 
     I just discovered him; now I gotta work through the backlist.  I 
liked THE BAD SAMARITAN no end, but somehow didn't warm up as much to THE 
CHERRY BLOSSOM MURDER.  P'raps it was because the murderer winds up 
getting away with it....
