Mysteries, thrillers and adventures

If you like my kind of books—mystery novels, page-turner thrillers or improbable but exciting adventure stories—then this is a place for us all to chat about what we're reading.

I finished "One Shot"

I finished "One Shot" and although I enjoyed it a lot, I don't think it quite reaches the standard of the other Lee Child books I've read. The level of intensity was there, as well as the suspense, but the unveiling of the villain in the end wasn't as much of a shocker as the others.

Having said that, I still liked the book a lot and will be looking for more Lee Child offerings soon.

Do you tend to read your favourite authors over and over? Sometimes I think I'm in a bit of a rut, and I've noticed it even more since I began this blog. I've done a couple of Carolyn Harts already, and on this past holiday weekend I read another "The Cat Who..." book by Lilian Jackson Braun. And the one I'm reading now is another Anne Perry. After I finish this one I must go out and buy some mysteries by authors I haven't read at all. If you have some favourite authors you could recommend, I'd be thrilled to hear from you.

Meanwhile, I'll report soon on "Long Spoon Lane"

I have just discovered Lee Child and his books. I am reading them one by one, and I have just finished three of them. I Will read all of them before I start with another author.

I really enjoy his books, and I am looking forward to read One Shot as well. But it will be a few weeks this will happen.

Isn't it marvellous when you find a new author you love? You are definitely in for a treat with the Lee Child collection.

If you'd like, go ahead and post another comment telling us what you think of the individual Lee Child books you've read. I know people are reading the blog, but they are all very shy about commenting!
