Book Review: The Innocent by David Baldacci

I’ve been a fan of David Baldacci’s books for years, so when I had the opportunity to receive an advanced eBook copy of The Innocent, I jumped at the chance! I’ve especially loved Baldacci’s The Camel Club Series, but was excited to see that The Innocent introduces a new hero to us: Will Robie – an assassin with a moral code.

From the beginning, we follow Will Robie on two missions in Edinburgh and Tangier, the details of which are related in a detached, almost clinical, fashion. Through these missions, we learn Robie believes his handlers when they tell him his targets have done something terrible for which they deserve to die.

Book Review: The English Assassin by Daniel Silva

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…

Book Review: The Kill Artist by Daniel Silva

As I mentioned last week, one of my personal challenges this year is to read all of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon books. Chris S., one of my good friends, has been raving about this series and I do love thrillers. Based on everything he had told me, this series seemed like a good fit for me. Plus, Chris was nice enough to loan me his copies of the books, so I really had no excuse.

So, I set out to read book one, The Kill Artist, and I learned a very important lesson about starting any new series… click the title to read more!

Thriller Thursday: 11/22/63 by Stephen King

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?

Thriller Thursday: No Rest For The Dead, Edited by Andrew and Lamia Gulli

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.

Who are your favorite mystery writers?

Book Review: Full Black by Brad Thor

With each terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Americans gave up more of their rights. Harvath was reminded of the line, paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin, that those who trade some of their liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. The wisdom of the founders never ceased to amaze him.

After tracking down a deadly terrorist cell, former Seal Team 6 and current Carlton Group member, Scot Harvath formulates a plan to infiltrate the cell to stop a string of deadly attacks on American soil. After the mission goes horribly wrong, and more attacks are launched in the heart of America, Harvath must go Full Black to uncover those responsible and bring them to his brand of justice.
