I imagine you could pick this or a number of other spy-thrillers at a bookstore (or more likely, an airport) and have the same experience.

Advertised as a science fiction-mystery-love story. That’s a quick way to explain the story’s essence; it barely scratches the surface.

Grisham can set an honest person on the run like no one else.

There’s nothing like the easy escape of an approachable, accessible, ready-to-roll-out-the-gate thriller.

It’s The Firm meets 'The Wire' with a poetic prose, and it’s a recommended read for anyone into court room dramas and slow-burn thrillers.

Another poignant read uncovering the chaos of the past. And one I just couldn’t put down.

This has to be the highest dialogue-to-description ratio I’ve ever seen, and it works!

That sure made my heart race, in more ways then one.

This guy’s got the mystery chops promised on the back cover.

When quarantined from a global pandemic, you read books about threats to humanity.

This has the usual Stephen King formula for a heeby-jeeby heart-stopper, but just comes up short as a classic for me.

A great finish to a super consistent trilogy.

This is King at some of his most consistent work.

Another unique King experience worth having.

Not sure Baldacci stuck the landing on this one.

A quick, engaging read with one of fiction’s greatest detectives on a stranded train, working to solve a murder. What more could you want?
