Brain Rules by John J. Medina

Interesting books with simple rules to help your brain function optimally. Probably would have been better if it was 1/3 as long, but content kept interest.

Blue At The Mizzen by Patrick O'Brian

The last full book of the series lives up to the excellence of its predecessors and the end of this journey is indeed sad for the reader but not for the captain and crew.

Blood Work by Michael Connelly

This is good Connelly from about 10 years ago. He takes a long time to cover very little, but the tale is well woven and despite some holes enjoyable to read. Retired FBI agent Terry McCaleb is asked by the sister of the woman whose heart Terry received from the donor program to investigate the donor's murder.

The Associate by John Grisham

Starts slow and picks up and then ends with no resolution. Yale graduate blackmailed into working for the largest law firm. The life as a first year lawyer in high stress firm was an interesting backstory that was more interesting than the plot.

First To Kill by Andrew Peterson

Total Lee Child knock off even read by Dick Hill. Retired army buddies and FBI take on american terrorists. Entertaining but nothing more.

Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard

Re-read March 2017 - very enjoyable. Real interesting start, fizzled out at the end but solid dialog all the way through. Sounds, as usual, like Elmo sat down and just started writing. Thin plot with interesting characters - I enjoyed it.
