Surprisingly Fascinating

Revisado: 01-15-24

Being a lover of European history, but with little knowledge of the affects of Paris on American artists and culture, I began the book uncertain of whether I would enjoy it. But, having immensely enjoyed the author's previous works, I started forward. My trepidation soon fled. The book is a wonder and is both an American and a French treasure.

Terrific Plot

Likes: contemporary plot...interesting characters...a hopeful ending
Dislikes: a few simplistic plot twists...would prefer more closure against some of the evil doers

Good story but under developed with weak ending

Revisado: 11-07-22

Lots to like if you like Jack Reacher. I'm a fan of this series but this time it feels like Dick Hill was churning a book for sale as opposed to delivering an ever upgraded story. Reacher was too wooden and the ending too rushed. Unredemptive action and shallow characters are overwhelming an interesting plot.

Good but not Great

Revisado: 10-25-22

Scott Brick's performance is stellar as always. While Evan Smoak is a developing character, parts of the storyline felt artificially manufactured and then incomplete. Not sure if there was "a plot" or a series of sub-plots strung together. I enjoyed the book but left less satisfied as with previous books in the series.

Borrowing from Jeffrey Epstein Story

Revisado: 04-23-22

As usual, Joe Mantegna is The Voice of Spenser. He's terrific. The dialog is snappy and the 3 primary characters of Spenser, Hawk and Mattie are what we have come to love.
The one downer is the not so thinly veiled take on the Jeffrey Epstein story. Stealing from that sordid tale was a bummer for me.

Very Good Origin Story for the Longmire Series

Revisado: 03-29-22

Have read most of the Longmire books, but was overdue in completing the first book in the series. Guidall was terrific as usual and overall I rate it 4 stars. The story was good, but too quickly predictable. The characters are interesting, but much better developed in later books. A must read to better understand Walt, Bear and Vic.

Silva Has Not Lost His Touch

Revisado: 03-23-22

The Cellist is terrific. The story is credible given world politics in 2020. 2 concerns: Silva has not set up a believable passing of the Office torch from Gabriel to his successor, and Ballerini is simply not as good as Phil Gigante....at least not yet.
