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.
Swimming with Crocodiles
Interesting story and well written.
Swimming With Crocodiles: A True Story of Adventure and Survival
Night Passage
The first of the Jesse Stone series. Sure will miss RBP.
Looking for Rachel Wallace
An early Spencer that doesn’t disappoint.
The Wilderness Warrior
If you are looking to spend several weeks with a book, this might be the ticket. Leaves no stone unturned.
The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America
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.
The Arms Maker of Berlin
Ok, but really pushes the willful suspension of disbelief.
No Quarter
Very detailed, but a bit drawn out.
Gomorrah
A 200 page run on sentence. Quite an effort to make this topic dull.
Gomorrah: A Personal Journey into the Violent International Empire of Naples’ Organized Crime System
The Art of the Heist
Underwhelming and depressing. To paraphrase Lily Tomlin – No matter how cynical you are, you can never catch up.
The Art of the Heist: Confessions of a Master Art Thief, Rock-and-Roller, and Prodigal Son
Soldiers and Slaves
Nasty bit of forgotten history repeated countless times throughout the slave camps of Nazi Germany.
