Ah, you have some good stuff there, Col! Deighton, Disher, Hillerman, and Vargas! And McGilloway, too. In my opinion, anyway, good reading awaits you!
ReplyDeleteMargot thanks. I think it's safely established I have plenty of good reading ahead of me and no real need for any more books!
DeleteShane Maloney – Yes – Enjoyed his work, but have not read him in a while. Need to catch up.
ReplyDeleteI read him maybe 10 years ago, but haven't kept pace with him.
DeleteMaclean, Macinnes, Vargas, Deighton - plenty there to keep me happy. Where Eagles Dare is such a classic Maclean - strong men, buxom women, over-the-top Nazis. I want to re-read it now.
ReplyDeleteI've not yet tried MacLean - buxom women, hmm.......what's not to like!
DeleteI will let you know how that works out for me...
Vicki has summed up nicely for me. You should definitely read Where Eagles Dare! I was always a big MacLean fan.
ReplyDeleteI think I only have this one from him, what restraint!
DeleteI have not read Where Eagles Dare and I want to. I have read The Dragon Man by Garry Disher and I liked it and I need to get to the second book someday. Lots of other books here I would like to hear about when you review them.
ReplyDeleteDisher has a couple of series I need to get through....one day! Funny enough I found another MacLean book in tub number forty-something.
DeleteCol, I have got a couple of David Baldacci and Jeffrey Deaver books and, of course, I'm waiting to read Mr. Reasoner's TEXAS WIND.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like Baldacci does short - why use one word when you can use 50? TEXAS WIND should be good.
