Taken

by Robert Crais
- Rated 4 stars
“Without dwelling too much on his other books, I think this may be my favorite of the Elvis Cole series. It is a tale of criminality; that is the criminals of the criminals.
Human smuggling and the beasts that prey on the coyotes. ”

“A Novel of psychological suspense. That's what the promos said, and that is what it is. A swift easy read that offers much food for thought.”

The Good Son

by Michael Gruber
- Rated 5 stars
“I picked this up because I liked the first few sentences. I loved the book. It is about a man who lives in two worlds. The United States and Pakistan. He has the most curious background of any character I can think of. The plot is an amazing labyrinth of ambition, greed, fighting for survival and the discovery of who he really is.
Personally, It was more real to me because of the headlines relating to Seal Team Six. Supermen do exist.”

The Caves of Perigord

by Martin Walker
- Rated 4 stars
“These are the caves that Jean Auel writes about in her painted caves.
This story is told in three different time frames; Now, WWII dealing with the French Resistance and 17,000 years ago when these paintings were created. Whatever I thought I understood about the Resistance in France was blown away in spite of all those war movies I have watched.
Martin Walker is the author of the Bruno,Chief of Police series. Charming informative books that take place in the same area.”

Second Son

by Lee Child
- Rated 3 stars
“Reacher fans will like this. Two sneezes and you're done. Less than an hour. If you have ever wondered how Reacher has solved so many problems and how they have turned out as he planned no matter how far fetched the machinations may have seemed, it must be genetic. Must be as he has been doing these things at least since he was thirteen.”
