All Our Yesterdays
A lot of back and forth through the years, but the story keeps moving.
In The Garden Of The North American Martyrs: Stories
Another good selection of short stories.
The Hard Way: A Reacher Novel
Finally. A Reacher novel not immersed in a acronym agency. Ending is flat, but keeps a brisk pace.
Without Fail
Good for a plane or the beach. Dull and deflating ending.
The Dark Horse
Some ok parts, but not the greatest.
The Dark Horse: A Walt Longmire Mystery (Walt Longmire Mysteries)
Stone’s Fall
A rambling story that manages to stay interesting and lively throughout.
Our Story Begins
Diverse and interesting set of short stories.
Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories (Vintage Contemporaries)
Old City Hall
Not bad, but the end is a bit ambiguous.
Little Bird of Heaven
JCO sure has a way with words.
Night Passage
The first of the Jesse Stone series. Sure will miss RBP.
Looking for Rachel Wallace
An early Spencer that doesn’t disappoint.
No Survivors
Seems to have been written more in the attempt to get a movie advance rather than prop up the tired super agent genre. Better than watching the Pro Bowl, but not by much.
The Confidential Agent
Alright for an evening with nothing else to read.
Watership Down
As good as it was when I first read it thirty five years ago. A book that made me love reading.
back Story
A bit of an alternate reality when characters from different series interact. Stone and Spenser make for quite a combination.
Night and Day
Jesse finally figures it out.
Hark!
Palindromes, anagrams and Deaf Man – oh, my.
Devil’s Garden
I rarely put a book down after 100+ pages, but this book broke me. Going nowhere fast.
The Increment
CIA genre – starts out ok, but has too many characters, which seems to be what international intrigue demands.
