The Washington Post Celebrates The Return of Barbara Neely’s “Blanche White” Books

Written by

The Washington Post ran a terrific piece today about our reissues of Barbara Neely's ground-breaking "Blanche White" mystery novels. The series explores race, culture, politics and sexism through the prism of a compelling, entertaining, and highly-original crime story. These books are prime examples of our dedication to publishing "the best crime novels in existence." The article includes interviews with Barbara and Brash Books co-founder Joel Goldman. Here's an excerpt: Before “The Help” there was Blanche White, an African American housekeeper with a knack for getting tangled up in murder mysteries.

Some Very Kind Words for Brash Books

They are putting out books by damn fine authors and they are terrific looking books as well. Two recent books that crossed our desk are Jack Lynch's The Missing and the Dead and The Dead Never Forget.
