As a book, License to Kill by James Gardner is not bad at all. I’m not sure when the overlap between the script/production and the novel happened
I enjoyed An Inside Job by Daniel Silva, it’s a good art thriller with the feel of a cozy mystery. I appreciate Allon’s post-espionage career,
What I like about Grisham’s novels is that they have guts, they’re trying to say something while giving the reader a good overview of what law means
Win, Lose or Die might have fared better had it not been shackled to the Bond franchise, which comes with certain expectations of derring-do fantasy
This is a good book, not one of Grisham’s best but certainly far from his worst. There aren’t many twists in the traditional sense, there is suspense
There’s a lot going on in both books, but I though this book had a lot more information to absorb besides the mystery. Not that I would have figured it out
The thrill of adventure is, of course, a large part of The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva, but reminds us that we cannot escape history
Scorpius by James Gardner follows James, Bond, agent 007, as he infiltrates a religious cult run by a terrorist whose goal is to assassinate politicians
I enjoyed books in a similar vein, but after a strong start, the pace of The Library of Lost Dollhouses by Elise Hooper slowed down
Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionneis a cynical, poetic, funny and very powerful novel which stayed with me for a while after I finished reading.
