Fast paced. A bit too cut-and-dried with a confusing array of second tier characters.

The Last Man: A Novel

Even Spenser can get played, but not for long.

Valediction (Spenser)

The early Spenser’s have bit more edge than the subsequent decades.

The Widening Gyre (Spenser)

A pretty good one from early in the series.

Trunk Music (A Harry Bosch Novel)

When Spencer met Susan – classic.

One of the few duds I have come across in this series.

Never thought Heydrich could make it into a plot line, but author manages to pull it off.

Prague Fatale (Bernie Gunther)

From early on in the series. A little bit different read.

Captiva (Doc Ford)

Not really sure what I think of this series, but I keep reading.

Bone Deep (A Doc Ford Novel)

Author sure has a range. Almost gets Clancyesque in parts.

Esau

Plenty of twists and turns with an homage to Elmore, whether intentional or not.

A Five-Year Plan

Hard to believe the guy wrote this while still in college.

Tonight I Said Goodbye (Lincoln Perry)

This series seems tired, but is an old comfortable shoe to slip on.

Poison Flower (Jane Whitefield)

Conveys more of the desperation and hopelessness than comes through in the movie.

Das Boot: The Boat

LM’s life is a bit too complicated.

All I Did Was Shoot My Man: A Leonid McGill Mystery

Pretty clever in spots.

Hair of the dog that bit you, in more ways than one.
