Pale Kings and Princes
This one will blow you away.
Chance
Spencer rolling the dice.
A Catskill Eagle
Stumbled into some early Spencer novels that I hadn’t read. Much more of a thug in the early days.
Persuader
Something about these Reacher books keeps me coming back.
Jurassic Park
Good summer fodder.
Shake the Devil Off: A True Story of the Murder that Rocked New Orleans
More padding than a down pillow. May have been an interesting article, but never should have been a book.
Shake the Devil Off: A True Story of the Murder that Rocked New Orleans
Lost Light
The Rod Carew of Detective fiction. Rarely strikes out and usually makes contact.
A Savage Place
A early, weird and pretty good Spencer.
Term Limits
Just can’t connect with the “Get the President” genre. Managed to finish, more from being stubborn than interested.
Rules of Prey
Book sales are great to fill out what the library doesn’t carry.
True Stories of D-day
Good for an overview, but nothing in detail.
Out on the Cutting Edge: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel
Blocky in places, but keeps an even keel overall.
Soldat: Reflections of a German Soldier, 1936-1949
An interesting view from the other side. Pretty unique perspective being in the General Staff.
Adam
Besides ripping off Poltergeist and The Exorcist, this book reeks with pretension. So long, Ted.
Gone Tomorrow
Series getting long in the tooth, but good for filler.
Clapton: The Autobiography
Warts and all. Disconnects in places, but pretty compelling overall.
Last to Die
A little jumbled and not that interesting.
The Last Kind Words: A Novel
A more interesting take on the Walton’s.
Blood Red Snow: The Memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern Front
A unique account of a German front line soldier on the Eastern Front.
Blood Red Snow: The Memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern Front
Waging Heavy Peace
Unique. Authentic. Compelling. Young shows why you should write your own story rather than delegating to a surrogate, Clive Davis..
