Thrillers

Review:This book was very hard to follow. There were quite a few characters and it was not easy keeping up with them. The book would go back and forth in time and that was very confusing. I got very frustrated trying to keep up. Read more

Review:I wish Mark Greaney would devote more time to the Gray Man! Don't get me wrong, I love his Jack Ryan books but the Gray Man is the best! Another great book which sets up a new future for Court. If you have not read the first 4 books you really need to read them first. Read more

Review:The Dave Robicheaux novels are great. This is a really good example of one the earlier ones. I'd be very hard pressed to pick a favorite. I recently started re-reading the series in order, and now I'm onto Book 3. Read more
Review:Good, but not the most exciting of her FBI series. Dillon and Savich are solid characters and almost like old friends.The new characters and resulting love is good but basically the same story, different characters. Good read for a snowy afternoon. Read more
