"Odyssey's End, the tenth Rick Cahill story, is author Matt Coyle's best work to date, IMO. It's propulsive. It's gripping. It's personal. In a word...MASTERFUL! Matt Coyle is at the very top of his game. The brute physicality of this story is equaled" Read more of this review »

"Wow, what a great ending (?) to Rick Cahill's career as a private eye. This was definitely his best book yet! The action and tension as the end was palpitable! The only thing that was a bit far fetched was when he had his knee cap blown off that he w" Read more of this review »

“Mistress; please: are you divine, or mortal?”
Homer

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Matt Hi Zoe,
Thanks for the friendship.
I'm currently reading DARE ME by Megan Abbott. The first I've read of her and I'm now a fan. How about you?

Zoë Sharp Hi Matt

Thank you for Friending me. I see you have a lot of classics among your favourite books. I re-read LORD OF THE FLIES recently to do a guest blog on it. Great book.
