The Last Refuge by Ben Coes is Book 3 in the Dewey Andreas series and primarily revolves around the at-odds political landscape of three countries: Iran, Israel and The United States.
Israeli Special Forces Commander Kohl Meir (and great-grandson of Golda Meir) is kidnapped by the Iranians off the streets of New York City.

Regular readers know that I’m working my way through Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series in my own personal reading challenge this year. Book 2 in the series is The English Assassin.
I felt like I got to know Gabriel, and the other recurring characters, a little better this time, but in a completely different setting: Switzerland.
It’s clear from the beginning that Silva has done extensive research into Switzerland’s WWII history…
Stephen King’s newest book departs from the traditional horror genre on an interesting new path: a blend of sci-fi, philosophy, history, politics and romance. It wouldn’t be Stephen King if there weren’t some extraordinarily descriptive gore involved, but Constant Readers will be happy to see that King’s monumental talent for character and plot development translate well to other genres.
Through the magic of fake IDs, Jake becomes George, the man who goes back to a time without iPhones or the internet, to try to change history. But will it be everything he hoped? Will George risk everything for JFK?
It’s time for another installment of Thriller Thursday!
This one was really exciting for me – No Rest For The Dead was written by twenty-six amazing mystery and thriller authors including Sandra Brown, RL Stine, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Palmer, Kathy Reichs and more. Twenty-Six! As excited as I was for what promised to be a great mystery, I was even more excited to see how all these author’s writing styles would blend together into one cohesive story. Would it be seamless or would it be disjointed? The only way to find out was to dive right in.

Dominance is a novel about a puzzle game about a novel. Sounds confusing, but it’s not. And it’s not just any game, it’s a deadly one. One that Harvard professor Alex Shipley will have to solve very quickly before the killer catches up to her.
Fifteen years earlier, Alex was part of a night class called Unraveling a Literary Mystery, taught by famed professor Richard Aldiss. Aldiss was teaching the class remotely from his prison cell where he was serving time for the brutal murders of two female grad students. The women were killed with an axe and their bodies decorated with the novels of reclusive author Paul Fallows. The night class’ assignment was to solve the mystery of Paul Fallows’ identity using his novels as their map. The way to follow the map was through a mysterious game called The Procedure.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a particular affection for thrillers. And I can think of no better way to share my favorites with you than with a Thriller Thursday post!
For several years now, I’ve eagerly anticipated the release of each new book in Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series. Mitch Rapp is an All-American guy who just happens to know over a thousand different ways to kick some serious behind. And he puts his skills to good use by fiercely protecting the U.S.A. He has travelled all over the world uncovering and stopping nefarious plots that the public will never know about and he does it with brutal efficiency. Rapp is definitely the guy you want on your side when the fighting starts!
A gifted college athlete, Mitch Rapp was recruited by the CIA after his college sweetheart was killed in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. And he only wanted one thing: Retribution.
