The muddle in the middle – some fun stuff but drags at times.

Too Close to Home: A Thriller

Keeps you guessing but the ending is a little too clean.

No Time for Goodbye

Falls apart at the end, but not a total waste of time.

No Time for Goodbye

Never Look Away

I usually don’t like the multiple narrator perspective, but this one is handled ok.

Painted Ladies

I didn’t know this was in the works when RBP died. A good way to go out, I guess.

Painted Ladies (Spenser)

Rabbit, Run

Some books you just shouldn’t re-read. I had somewhat fond memories of this book, but found the second time through a slog.

The Woods

A bit heavy handed in spots, but entertaining overall.

Promise Me

Starts off strong, waffles a bit and ends with a shrug.

One of the better reads in the Sunny Randall series.

A different ending from a lot of the Spencer series.

The Ice Curtain

Some interesting parts, but a bit too predictable.

Known to Evil: A Leonid McGill Mystery

Keeps a good pace. Ending is a bit of a letdown.

The Third Rail

Multiple voices a bit confusing and the story is a bit transparent, but not a bad read overall.

The Third Rail

The Burglar Who Thought He Was Bogart

A bit dull.

Below Zero

This series has really faded. Title should be the ranking on a scale of 1-10.
