Arturo Perez-Reverte

I just finished the last(so far) series by Craig Johnson. A sm WY town sheriff with murders, town characters, sidekicks, delightful.
I enjoy the Robert Parker mysteries based around horse racing.
I read two books by a master storyteller based in Canada--superb writing, I think his name is Fox.
Now I'm reading a first novel of Jonathan Raymond, The Half Life, set in Oregon.
So far, so good.
Have you heard of Artero Reverte? Wow. Several excellent books on a variety of topics. Wow. And I don't say Wow, often. The Painter of Battles. Wow.

Hello
Obviously I'm not very current in my responses to posts to LibraryThing.
I just last year discovered (by Librarian suggestion)Dunning, though I have
been in Denver for some tine now and read extensively. I enjoy books about books and I have now been to Colfax to see for myself some of the 'settings' for the antique or 1st editions bookstores mentioned in his other books. Colfax has a big, new hospital which has/is changing that infamous road. The old stores and motels are fast disappearing.
Have you read Enigma? Or seen the movie?
What other books about book dealers have you found?

I have enjoyed the books by Dunning a great deal. I live in Denver so I was pleased to find a local author and know the areas of Denver he uses in his books. but I thought his book Eastern War Time was the best. I also have gotten other books about book dealers since this series.
