Robert B. Parker's The Hangman's Sonnet (A Jesse Stone Novel)
Robert B. Parker's The Hangman's Sonnet (A Jesse Stone Novel)

Review:Coleman has done a good job keeping this entertaining series going. He has a good sense for Parker's characters (including Spenser, who has a cameo here), and has developed Jesse Stone in interesting ways. His plots are a bit convoluted, and this new book is no exception, but that doesn’t detract seriously from the pleasure of a literate, intelligent crime story. Read more

The Mark of the Assassin (Michael Osbourne Book 1)

Review:I recently bought a book from Neil Rutledge , book seller. This book is unique in that it is a collectible because it is First Edition. The book arrived very quickly and the packaging was absolutely the BEST I have ever seen on a shipped purchase.
This dealer is truly exceptional and I will definitely be purchasing from him again in the near future because he is an outstanding book seller.

I am also very pleased with the pristine condition of this book.

Bravo Mr. Rutledge. Read more

The Messenger (Gabriel Allon Series Book 6)

Review:Another Silva masterpiece. To use an overused expression, this book really was very hard to put down. I had to work some at keeping the Arab names straight but read the book so quickly that it never became a problem. Read more

Review:All because of leniancy and compassion for the depraved !!!!
No action or other measures to correct unjustice or neglect of next generations immigrants will result in widespread suppression and terror of Western World Freedom and Values !!! Read more

The Defector (Gabriel Allon)

Review:The greatest positive about this book is that it moves...and moves well. The greatest negative is its blood and gore. That is problem for me, and I understand that. Characters were well drawn, although I did get mixed a lot with the two Isrealis.

I also read "The English Girl" and liked it better. Think I will take a rest from Silva! Read more

Prince of Fire (Gabriel Allon Series Book 5)

Review:I'm following in sequence all the Gabriel Allon novels and love how the Daniel Silva creates the atmosphere that the reader is actually 'involved'. I know these books are fiction but the research for writing all the action, planning, etc. is mind-boggling. So real. I actually am better understanding what I read and hear on the news now and what I have read while going to classes for school. Can't wait to see what comes next. I'm reading Moscow now (started two days ago) and noticed I'm 70% ... Read more

The Marching Season (Michael Osbourne Book 2)

Review:I have discovered that I cannot put down any book that Mr. Silva writes. Even though this is one of his early works not one of the series that hooked me into his writing it is well done and totally engaging. Read more

Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon Series Book 8)
Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon Series Book 8)

Review:Once again, Daniel Silva tells a marvelous story. In today's world of international intrigue, this story fits right in with what's happening in the Middle East and in Russia and the Ukraine. Although this is clearly fiction, how it relates to current events is startling. Read more

The Confessor (Gabriel Allon Series Book 3)
The Confessor (Gabriel Allon Series Book 3)

Review:Just great - one of the best Gabriel Allon books from Daniel Silva. I've read six in the series and I think that The Confessor is my favorite so far. As always, Daniel Silva is a master story teller and an excellent writer. I may well end up reading all the Gabriel Allon books. I love the combination of art restorer and assassin. How creative is that? I agree with one of the other reviewers who said that they enjoyed the earlier books in the series. However, they are all excellent. Silva ... Read more

A Death in Vienna (Gabriel Allon, Bk 4)
A Death in Vienna (Gabriel Allon, Bk 4)

Review:One of the best in the Gabriel Allon series. Highlights the problems the Jewish people had in several areas during and after WW2 along with a plot that is rivoting. For some reason this was the last of the series that I read. Perhaps saving the best for last!!! Read more
