Diamondhead by Patrick Robinson
Robinson writes great thrillers, he's hell bent on making his Republican political views known, other than that, excellent.
Lethal Defense by Michael Stagg
Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller Series, Book 1 was enjoyable, look forward to book 2.

Solomon vs. Lord by Paul Levine
Really enjoyed this. The author has some bad moments but the story and characters are good.
Hot Shot by Sheldon Siegel
:Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 10. This is entertaining and fits with the series.
Eddie's Boy by Thomas Perry
A Butcher's Boy Novel, Book 4. Up to par with the others in this series. Very good, what a nice surprise that Perry returned back to the Butcher's Boy!

Trigger Pull by Mike Ryan
Book 10 in the Silencer Series continues to be enjoyable. Don't know why, the plot is weak, plots repeat and characters keep doing the same thing BUT they're enjoyable.
Observations by Gaslight by Lyndsay Faye
So bad I returned it. Love this author and Sherlock Holmes, not sure what happened.

The Dark Hours by Michael Connelly
Couldn't get in to it. The first time out of like 30 I didn't avidly read a Connelly book.
W. E. B. Griffin Rogue Asset by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
A Presidential Agent Novel, Book 9 was a nice re-start of the series with new authors. Will listen to book 10...

Eddie's Boy by Thomas Perry
Eddie's Boy: A Butcher's Boy Novel, Book 4 was excellent and narrator Michael Kramer was too.

Dark Intercept The Shepherds Series by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson
These exceptionally talented authors were hired to include Jesus in their story and it was to the detriment of the plot.
Daughter of the Morning Star by Craig Johnson
Longmire Mysteries, Book 17 was pretty good. Narrated by George Guidall which is always good.
Police at the Station and They Don’t Look Friendly by Adrian McKinty
Detective Sean Duffy, Book 6 felt like the end to the series. An enjoyable series with a nice ending. Interesting characters and relationships.

Blowback by Mike Ryan
Book 4. Smart characters that do frustrating stupid things annoy but don't stop this series from being entertaining.
Hard Target by Mike Ryan
Smart characters that do frustrating stupid things annoy but don't stop this series from being entertaining.

Rain Dogs by Adrian McKinty
Book 5 keeps pace and is very enjoyable. Narration by Gerard Doyle is excellent.
Gun Street Girl by Adrian McKinty
Book 4 of the Sean Duffy detective series is strong like it predecessors. Very enjoyable.
The Silencer by Mike Ryan
The first in the series was entertaining, light, not totally baked but fun.

Delta-v by Daniel Suarez
Well written and interesting science but repetitive, just like the Martian but in a different setting. Hard to finish.
In the Morning I'll Be Gone Detective by Adrian McKinty
What a great surprise, really well written and gripping. Sean Duffy, book 3, is my first read for McKinty but I can't wait to read another.

Deep Dive by Chris Knopf
Book 9 in the Sam Acquillo Hamptons mysteries was another solid enjoyable read.

Spilled Blood by Brian Freeman
Not bad but just not my style, probably wouldn't read Freeman again. Joe Barrett, as always was very good.

Dead West by Bronson Pinchot
Book 4 was OK, the change in narrator was unfortunate and took a lot away from the experience. Would definitely listen to book 5 if it should ever come to pass.

The Shallows by Matt Goldman
Book 3 is very enjoyable, looking forward to the next Nils Shapiro book...
Broken Ice by Matt Goldman
Book 2 is good, really excited by this series in part because of MacLeod Andrews' narration.

Gone to Dust by Matt Goldman
Good story and narration, look forward to reading another book from the The Nils Shapiro Series, this was the first of four.

True Believer by Jack Carr
Terminal List, book 2 was good macho BS. A little long but good narrator and it sounds good at 2x.
Red Specter by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
Tier One Thriller, book 5 was enjoyable. Listened to all 6 in the series, looking forward to number 7. Apparently, they've been contracted to write 7, 8 and 9 - should be good.

Dog Eat Dog by David Rosenfelt
Book 23 of the Andy Carpenter mysteries is just like the previous 22, solid light entertainment.
The President's Daughter by James Patterson , Bill Clinton
Mediocre. High expectations were not met.
Monday, June 28, 2021
Collateral by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
The Tier One, book 6 was really good but ended without a resolution.

Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
Tried several times, had trouble getting through it. It's a little trippy
Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
J. K. Rowling is a beautiful writer. Her fifth Cormoran Strike book is, as always, beautifully written. This novel feels like the author diligently did all the background for each of the many supporting characters and then left it in the book. There are so many side stories that the plot gets lost and in the end doesn't feel very satisfying. Some people like books like that. I'd sure love to see what she could deliver in 6 hours vs. 32.

Silent Bite: An Andy Carpenter Mystery by David Rosenfelt
Totally formulaic, the 22 books in this series all follow almost identical plot lines, and yet, I loved this book.
Squeeze Me: A Novel by Carl Hiaasen
Enjoyable but would have been better if not narrated by Scott Brick.
The Cthulhu Casebooks: Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows: The Cthulhu Casebooks by James Lovegrove
Probably the worst Sherlock Holmes I've ever come across.
Danger Close by William G. Boykin
The author avoids gratuitous events like have someone walk in just as someone is escaping. The flow of the story is awkward and there are too many references to God & Jesus but the plot keeps moving. Would try the author again, I think this was a first book.

The Order by Daniel Silva
George Guidall delivers and this is one of the best of the 20 books in this series.
Muzzled by David Rosenfelt
Andy Carpenter Mystery number 21 is the exact same formula used in the previous 20 and still delights.
Monday, March 09, 2020
Risk by Dick Francis
Enjoyable but not a top Francis novel. I enjoyed the narrator Geoffrey Howard but would prefer Simon Preble.
The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Sounds like it's read by Dracula but Eckhart Tolle's observation about the human mind are very interesting and thought provoking.
Incriminating Evidence by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 2 is even better than book 1 - will try the next in the series...
