13. Night Hawks - 4⭐️

"Throughout his life, D***** T**** had monetized everything he could. Fame, which he craved on a cellular level, was hard to buy outright. But wealth was the full measure of a person for T****. He had spent years arousing suspicions that he inflated his personal net worth and level of liquidity to project the image of a financial heavy-hitter."

8. Those Who Are Dead Are Only Now Forgiven - 5⭐️

“But the reality was that retribution—against critics, prosecutors, investigators, journalists, and even late-night talk show hosts—was always at the top of T****’s second-term agenda.”

"You could look at Florida on a map and see that it drooped down from the rest of America like a limp peter. It was a wonder the founding fathers hadn’t just sawed the damn state off and let it drift away. A state where the most famous person went around pretending to be an eight-foot-tall mouse."😆

8. A sort Of Miracle - 5⭐

"All those different faces are inside me, not on the screen, and I can’t help thinking that if I remember every one, enough of Kerrie’s alive inside me to keep safe the part that isn’t."

7. Twenty-Six Days - 3⭐

6. A Servant of History - 5⭐

5. Where The Map Ends - 5⭐

“You got to ride this kind of luck out.”

4. Cherokee - 5 ⭐

“—Guns? A**holes like Jaime there? Guys like you two? Kidnappings? Things like what went down with Talbot in my kitchen? That's all well outside my experience. I'm not the kind of guy walks into a trucker bar and hires a driver to take a load of hot almonds off a dock.”😣

2. Nothing Gold Can Stay - 4⭐

“So you may want to do as I say and chill and buckle up. Because while I may hit like a little girl, I drive like a born and raised Los Angelino. Which means, you know, I think I'm the best driver in the universe, when in fact I probably shouldn't be allowed in a bumper car.”😆

“Crooked as bankers were, Sinkler should have realized how quickly they’d recognize him as one of their own. No, he’d not make that mistake again.”

1. The Trusty - 5 ⭐️

“—Don't worry, we don't have to bury him ourselves. He pulled from the curb. I looked over my shoulder at the body under the sheet. —Wouldn't have surprised me at this point.”

“My rare moment of wisdom, recognizing that blood is not in fact thicker than water.”

“Jane dived to her left away from the glass wall just as shots from inside shattered the pane behind her.”

“The mystic arts of erasing all signs of death. These things, these things you do to get by when need arises, they sometimes equip you for the rest of your life. However long that turns out to be.”

DNF @ 43% - I am not sure who the target reader for this one is but it is certainly not me. If I read one more sentence about Tim’s erections, or Tim constantly trying to look up Sylvia’s dress I will scream! Every character in this book is a miserable degenerate, on a road trip from hell. Can’t believe the same man who wrote Legends of The Fall penned this mess!🤮

“For fifteen years, Jane had been telling her runners, “I’m not interested in helping you get revenge. If that’s what you want, then go get it. But if you want to run, I’ll teach you.” But this time was going to be different.”
