Make Me by Lee Child

Jack Reacher, book 20, follows the previous character line with a long drawn out story. The plot is interesting and different but the amount of time for it to unfold is tiresome.

Saints of the Shadow Bible by Ian Rankin

My first entry into the Inspector Rebus series, book 19, was pleasurable. Rankin is a superb writer who creates rich and interesting imperfect characters. It was a little slow.

Black Swan by Chris Knopf

This was the 5th and likely the last in Sam Acquillo Hamptons Mystery Series. It was probably the weakest in the series but still enjoyable more due to characters than plot.
