On 31 Oct 96 Suzze Tiernan said this about that to All:
 ST> Not much in this echo recently! What is everyone reading? 
 
     Well, I've gone all retro and picked up Frances and Richard 
Lockridge's DEAD AS A DINOSAUR, from 1952.  A book-club copy came into the 
bookstore, and while I was brodarting the remnants of the dust jacket, I 
read the blurb and it sounded interesting enough that I thought to give it 
a try.  The Lockridges use a husband-and-wife detective team, Jerry and 
Pam North.  Jerry's an editor for a New York publisher, and far's I can 
make out, Pam is a sort of Nora Charles type--at least, I don't see her 
engaged in any outside-the-home employment.  I dunno yet whether I'm gonna 
care for the story, in which a paleozoologist (say that three times fast) 
winds up with an overdose of phenobarb in his evening glass of warm milk.  
Right now, the Norths are swanning around the relatives while expressing 
vague "something-isn't-right-here" noises to themselves, and using as a 
cover story that the Prof died owing Jerry a manuscript for his next book, 
and Jerry is trying to work out whether a ghost can finish up the book, or 
if it's publishable as is, or if it's a write-off, so to speak.  
     Letcha know what I thought of it once I'm done. 
... When life gets weird, the weird get a life.
