Power Play by Patrick Robinson
This was enjoyable, Mack Bedford, book 4, it's currently the last in the series but hopefully there will be another.
Young Blood by Brett Neichin , John Scott Dryden
This is an Audible original and it's pretty weak, breaks in character that are overlaid on a pretty silly plot.
The Delta Solution by Patrick Robinson
Robinson is too political but sure does write entertaining plots with engaging characters.
Long Shadows by David Baldacci
Good but not the great Baldacci, this series has never been great and we're on book 7.

Sierra Six by Mark Greaney
Gray Man, Book 11 is OK, always so close but just missing something. Entertaining.
Santa's Little Yelpers by David Rosenfelt
Book 26 of the Andy Carpenter mysteries is just the same as all the rest, a fun read. Grover Gardner's narration is a big part of why these are so good.
Righteous Prey by John Sandford
Book 32 dragged on and wasn't as tight as usual but still quite enjoyable. Richard Ferrone's narration was excellent, as always.
Last Call by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 13 continues the light fun entertaining saga.

In the Blood by Jack Carr
Narrated by: Ray Porter - very good
Terminal List, Book 5 was the best in the series, look forward to #6
Home by Harlan Coben
Myron Bolitar Series, Book 11 is consistent in that Coben's characters delight enough to overcome the mild plot disappointment

Oath of Loyalty by Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills
Mitch Rapp Novel, Book 21, narrated by George Guidall was surprisingly good.

Hell And Back by Craig Johnson
Humph. Pretty strange but it has bits that keep you interested maybe 3 stars out of 5. Of the 20 or so books in the series this or the last are the weakest but I appreciate that the author is stretching into new territory.

Dark Angel by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson
These writers are so good but they stick religion in places it doesn't fit. It feel like some company gives them money to put 'God' into their stories - sucks for the reader.
Primary Target by Jack Mars
The Forging of Luke Stone, Book 1 was enjoyable, not great but entertaining.

The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci
The best Baldacci I've read in quite a while, hope it becomes a series.
Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Daniel Silva
Gabriel Allon is back and just OK, enjoyable read, quickly forgettable.

Holy Chow by David Rosenfelt
An Andy Carpenter Mystery. Enjoyable but probably the least interesting in the entire series.

Scars and Stripes by Tim Kennedy , Nick Palmisciano
An Unapologetically American Story of Fighting the Taliban, UFC Warriors, and Myself. Well I enjoyed listening to it but I felt manipulated by the author like he was ah shucks but not really. I liked what he said and stood for but maybe not so much him.
Final Out by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 12 is like its predecessors very enjoyable.

After Steve by Tripp Mickle
Pretty good. This topic has been covered in so many ways that I was impressed to hear new details. Unfortunately, Apple comes across as a place filled with egos and insecurities - really made me worry about my securities.

The Investigator by John Sandford
Letty Davenport's debut novel is very good and Richard Ferrone's narration equals it.
Sunday, April 17, 2022
The Dreamer by Sheldon Siegel
Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Legal Thriller, Book 11 is like all of its predecessors, enjoyable.
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Very thought provoking. I'm glad I read it as it changed my perspective but not my cup of tea but maybe I like tea?
Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston
I'm not sure what I think about this book. I like the characters and wanted to know what's next but the violence was more than I wanted or enjoyed. I am very interested to know what's to come in the next book...

Put a Lid on It by Donald E. Westlake
Typical of Westlake you have likable characters and a plot that moves slowly. If you like that style it's good, I like it.
The Eliminator Series, Books 1-3 by Mike Ryan
The Eliminator Series, including: The Fallen, The Payback, and The Reprisal. Pleasurable, a guilty pleasure, you can't say they're good but uh they are.

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.

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 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.
Saturday, August 21, 2021
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.
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
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.

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.

Mediocre. High expectations were not met.
Monday, June 28, 2021
Collateral by Brian Andrews , Jeffrey Wilson
