I've read a few, the most recent being "The Land God Gave to Cain". I like his books, but they definitely feel like they are set in a world that no longer exists (particularly with respect to societal norms). I don't have the same feeling with the grittier works of the time, such as those by Ian Fleming or Alistair MacLean. I wonder if young people today enjoy Innes' books?
