I liked this one even better than Death of a Citizen. I have always been a fan of the Bond books, but I think I like Matt Helm even better. He's even bleaker and more assured of his amoral nature, with just enough humanity for you to root for him. ...more

I came across a recommendation for this series, and as I'm always looking for new crime series to try, I did just that. I found it to be an enjoyable read. There were a few places where the writing didn't "flow" (at least for me), but it had a good m ...more

Dennis Lehane's novels rip the heart and soul right out of you. But you keep coming back for more because the writing is that good. A tremendous moral quandary lies at the end of this novel (no spoilers!), and the reader will ask themselves, "What wo ...more

Segura sure does put his characters through the ringer! I think, of the authors I've read, maybe only Jason Starr is harder on his characters. Fernandez loses friends, is beaten to a pulp, and is beset by other tragedies at an alarming rate. But, som ...more

I read North's second book, The Shadows, first, and then tracked down this book. I believe that, while I'm a fan of The Shadows, I actually like this book even better. Both books do an excellent job of creating suspense, so much so that it is actuall ...more
