Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper | Donald Henderson

so-so

I liked the premise, a serial killer wants to get caught, reads the paper to see if his latest murder in it, then decides he doesn't want to get caught so he must now make an effort to get away with murder. Had high expectations. Writing style fell short for me .
1 hour in #20in4 got me to the end of this book and one book away from a #BookSpinBingo.
Make a great day everyone 😊

Really enjoyed this classic crime book. Not often written from the perspective of a serial killer who wants to get caught!

66 points for TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon

Started listening to this classic crime book, which is centred on a serial murder and him wanting to be caught! Apparently this was a favourite story for Raymond Chandler, a good feel so far.

This is twisted vintage at its best. Raymond Chandler‘s favourite book.

I do believe that Mr. Bowling is something more than #JustACreep. 😳

The title character in Raymond Chandler‘s favourite novel (published in 1943) is a serial killer who keeps buying the newspaper to see if anyone suspects him of his crimes. Unfortunately, there is a war on and the clues he leaves keep going unnoticed.

Leftcoastzen Love that cover! 5y

Billypar The title doesn't sound like it's about a serial killer- I would have guessed a zany comedy where Mr. Bowling whacks people with rolled up newspapers or something 😀🗞️💥🤕 5y

Cinfhen I agree @Billypar and it does sound like there is a bit of humor here!! 5y
