I’ve released this #littlefreelibrary find back into the wild; Donald Hamilton’s “Murderers’ Row” was a fun, slightly trashy but well written noir take on the spy thriller; while it certainly shows its 1962 publication date in many ways, it has a couple of surprisingly strong female characters and a three dimensional lead. The other Matt Helm books at Dreamhaven were priced $10 to $20, so this appears to be somewhat collectible, but I think there should be more books like this in the library boxes so it’s back out for someone else to discover. And I found two more that seem even trashier for upcoming reading … #matthelm #donaldhamilton #thriller #paperback (at Longfellow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZ32xZH0ja/?utm_medium=tumblr

If VH1 ever decides to do an I Love the 50s and 60s: Literary Spy Edition (a little niche), I'll gladly sign up for the cameraman position. Bond was born into the fifties, for M, villain debunking, and pride and country. Helm was born into the sixties, the war behind him, but not his past as a wartime agent. Both series are different, which always bodes well when you're not looking for a copycat/spinoff/revisit, and they both are brutally captivating. I read through Fleming's works in 2016 and have been craving a new spy series to get into. Hamilton's Helm it is! Modesty Blaise TBD, but at the top of the TBR. #fifties #sixties #ianfleming #jamesbond #donaldhamilton #matthelm #spy #espionage #action #thriller #circa #photooftheday #picoftheday #instagram #instadaily #casinoroyale #liveandletdie #moonraker #deathofacitizen #thewreckingcrew #theremovers #modestyblaise #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #booknerd #booknerdigans #books #reading #readersofinstagram
