Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

1. 61 Hours, Lee Child. I'm mellowing on the ending, but I still don't think it was appropriate.

2. Perjury, Stan Latreille. Legal thriller with a pretty good plot. Written by a retired judge.

3. Storm Prey, John Sandford. Ah, lots of Heather. My favorite Sandford character by far.

4. Changes, Jim Butcher. I really enjoy this series.

5. Deep shadow, RWW. His Florida books are my favs, and this one is no exception.

Looks like a good month, Dan. I've not mellowed on the ending. Cheap shot at selling the next book, imho.

I read 61 HOURS early in the month and thought is was pretty much just okay. It's the only Reacher book I've read all the way through and I won't read any others. I did like reading about the snowstorm when it as close to 100 here!

I think 61 hours was just the first half of this year's book.

I agree, Barry. Lee Child does not need to try tricks to get people to read his next book. I said earlier on another thread that I think this book got away from him and was too long. He broke it down to two separate books. This is the first he has published two books in a single year.

Gee, since it's one book, you don't suppose Part II will be free then, do you?

Some how, I doubt it. :-)

Dan:
I can feel a chill just thinking about 61 Hours and enjoyed reading it.
I was certainly surprised by the ending, and wondered about two books released in a year, I can see the publisher suggesting another book instead of a longer book.

I can see it too, Ann. The dollar signs were just overwhelming, no doubt.

What a cynic. The publisher clearly had the welfare of fans in mind.. s/he knows how much we love suspense, and was just helping to prolong the experience.

Right, Carol. Won't keep you since Publisher's Clearing House is probably knocking at your door right now.

Attaboy!!! That's more like it.

I keep checking my library to put my name on the list for Worth Dying For, and they are still not showing it on order...very odd - I think it's out next month. Might have to order for my Kindle.

Dawn, I've been toying with the idea of waiting until Worth Dying For comes out before reading 61 Hours, and reading them back-to-back. I'm sensing this would be a good idea....

Carol:
yes, it probably would!
