In reply to Philip Kane. Looking back on this and after reading Need to Know, i can honestly say that this was the first book I ever sped read just to get to the end of it. It was like a bad sampling of 50 shades of Spies. Tame and Momsy and if this is going to a basis of a top notch film I will NOT be waiting with abated breath. Enid Blyton would of done better with Five go on a mole hunt.....

Just finished Into the Black Nowhere. Great Crime Thriller. Meg Gardiner hit a home run with this book and her character Caitlin Hendrix. Looking forward to more UNSUB books.

In reply to Dean_Der. Finished listening to Hellbent by Gregg Hurwitz. His best book by far!!! A very tough choice between Operator Down and Hellbent as the best book so for this year.

Brad Taylor is not my favorite writer. Just finished “ring of fire“, and gave it three stars. I keep reading his books because other readers give him such high marks, but he never fails to disappoint me.

In reply to Dean_Der. Need to Know by Karen Cleveland, completed just now and I hate to say that it just wasn't good to me. A lot of filler and fluff compiled with foolish actions by the main character.

Finished Robicheaux and was pleasantly surprised. It’s not the best story but it is so well written that it keeps you going. Cletus Purcell makes a great side kick too. Whoever likes audiobooks, Will Patton does an amazing job on this one.

Just finished Mark Greaney’s Gray Man Series…can not wait for the next book!! Brad Taylor’s Operator Down was amazing, didn’t want it to end! So glad he kept Shoshana and Aaron around. Had the pleasure of seeing Brad at Murder by the Book book signing in Houston….what a great time! Now on to Nick Petrie’s Light It Up. I don’t know anything about this author or this book, totally going on your recommendation…not worried, you haven’t let me down yet!!!

Just finished “final target“ by John Gilstrap. Exceptional! Rated it 5 stars.It had everything including cowboys and Indians, metaphorically speaking.

Just finished “Full Assault mode” by Dalton fury. Not his best work but good. Rated it three stars. Book should have been 200 pages less. Original material, and excellent storyline and character development.

I just Finished Operstor Down by Brad Taylor. I must say, this was the first book of this series that I’ve read but after finishing this, I plan on reading more! I loved the plot and how the two, seemingly separate operations, threaded into one with the awesome twist of the wonderful yet crazy Shoshana lol. No one better get in her way! Action packed with numerous twists and turns, this is book you can’t pass up!
