Two Kinds of Truth by Michael Connelly

Pretty good but not special.

End Game by David Baldacci

OK, Robie & Real are not my favorite characters but the book entertains.

Red Swan by P. T. Deutermann

Pleasantly surprised how enjoyable this book was.

Deep Freeze by John Sandford

Virgil Flowers, Book 10 is, like all the others, solid entertainment.

The Verdict by Nick Stone

Complex and intertwined, an interesting tale.

Private by James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Pure macho entertainment, just OK. Fast, light, mildly entertaining. Silly.

The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson

Examines the impact of the man who brought porn to the forefront. Interesting at times but had trouble staying with it.

The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen

Very good but just not my thing.

Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink, Leif Babin

How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win. Mostly interesting. Takes a long time to say something.

The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton

Lots of fluff but lots of plot, quite entertaining.

The Driver by Hart Hanson

Very enjoyable, definitely would read again.

Oath of Office by Jack Mars

Oath of Office: A Luke Stone Thriller, Book 2 is just OK.

Collared by David Rosenfelt

Very enjoyable but one of the weaker in the series.

Hong Kong Black by Alex Ryan

The books where the authors use the Alex Ryan pen name aren't as good. Enjoyable but soap opera-ish.

James Moriarty, Consulting Criminal by Andy Weir

Just OK.

Enemy of the State by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills

Enemy of the State: A Mitch Rapp Novel, Book 16. Disappointing. Scott Brick is a fine narrator but this audio series is tied to George Guidall. Mills is more into back story and fluff than Flynn and thus the book doesn't have the same pace and intensity Rapp books are known for.

The Western Star by Craig Johnson

Some of the best moments of the series like when Walt meets Grace Slick but the switching between past and present ruins the flow of the book. Enjoyable but this could have really been good.

War Shadows by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

Tier One, Book 2 is not as good as the first but enjoyable.

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

Enjoyable, you can see how good Capote is.

Among Heroes by Brandon Webb, John David Mann

Byline: A U.S. Navy SEAL's True Story of Friendship, Heroism, and the Ultimate Sacrifice. Talks about SEALs who have been killed in the line of duty. Pretty interesting.

Tier One by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

Packed with macho action and no fluff.

The Late Show by Michael Connelly

Good by any standards other than Connelly's.

Camino Island by John Grisham

Not Grisham great but entertaining.

Scores by Michael D. Blutrich

How I Opened the Hottest Strip Club in New York City, Was Extorted out of Millions by the Gambino Family, and Became One of the Most Successful Mafia Informants in FBI History...too long but interesting.

House of Spies by Daniel Silva

Same old characters, same entertaining ride with Gabriel Allon.

One of a Kind by Nolan Dalla, Peter Alson

The Story of Stuey 'The Kid' Ungar, the World's Greatest Poker Player was very enjoyable. Sad but fascinating and exciting bio.

Kill Zone by Jack Coughlin, Donald A. Davis

Slow and boring.

Ghost Sniper by Scott McEwen, Thomas Koloniar

OK

G-Man by Stephen Hunter

Bob Lee Swagger, Book 10 is a lot like the previous books - slow but boy Hunter can tell a good story.

The Force by Don Winslow

Enjoyable read about cops.

Trap the Devil by Ben Coes

Dewey Andreas, Book 7 is OK, would be good if there wasn't so much fluff. Adreas doesn't even show up for 4 chapters.

The Ranger Way by Kris Paronto

Pretty good, assumed a lot of knowledge/news I wasn't familiar with.

The Traitor's Story by Kevin Wignall

Listened to this over the course of months, Simon Vance's voice brought me back, and then I finally got hooked. Would try Wingnall again...I think.

Beijing Red by Alex Ryan

Nick Foley, Book 1 was pretty good. Lots of filler.

The Fix by David Baldacci

Good.

The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham

Written in 1925 you can see why people still read Maugham today. Fine writing.

The Operator by Robert O'Neill

The Operator: Firing the Shots That Killed Osama Bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior by Robert O'Neill was very enjoyable. Something about the author didn't set right with me, but none the less he gave a very interesting account of modern SEAL life.

Golden Prey by John Sandford

Sandford could tell a good story in his sleep, this is good.

Change Agent by Daniel Suarez

OK, but disappointed because Suarezs' first books were outstanding.

Cuba Libre by Elmore Leonard

Good even for Leonard.

Rising Sun by Michael Crichton

Very good, lot's on Japanese culture.

The Whole Art of Detection: Lost Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes by Lyndsay Faye

Faye is so good she can write Sherlock Holmes stories.

A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch

Charles Lenox Mysteries Series #1 was slow and good, would like to read #2.

The Kingmaker by Brian Haig

Sean Drummond Series, Book 3 was pretty good, definitely would read another. Joe Barrett a narrator I usually enjoy very much was just OK for this part.

Sudden Death by David Rosenfelt

As always, enjoyable Andy Carpenter.

Final Justice, Badge of Honor by W. E. B. Griffin

A Badge of Honor Novel book 8 is mostly repeated tales of past episodes by oddly remains entertaining.

Back Lash by Chris Knopf

The Sam Acquillo Hamptons, Book 7, keeps pace with previous installments. Good characters believable and interesting plot. Enjoyable read.

Bolt by Dick Francis

This, the second in the Kit Fielding series, is vintage Francis. 30 years later this 1986 story holds it's own.

The Traffickers, Badge of Honor by W. E. B. Griffin

Meh

The Old Man by Thomas Perry

Very enjoyable.
