"I'm not rating this because I dislike Lankford's books for reasons of personal taste, not because I don't think he's a good writer.
It's hardboiled and grim.

"Written by the former head of Britain's MI5. A spy thriller, not on the level of LeCarre or Furst, but well written and well plotted. I'll definitely read her next book."

"One of Pears' series of art history mysteries, featuring a squad of Italian cops responsible for tracking down the perpetrators of art thefts. Very enjoyable, and you learn things about art, too."

"I'd rate this higher except I don't care for the genre ... serial killers. The writing in general, characters, atmosphere, etc. is super."

"I can't believe I haven't heard of this guy a long time before now. He's so much better all around than hacks like Cornwell, the Kellermans, and so on."

"I loved this book ... the characters leap off the page and the story is engrossing ... a high school teacher who risks his life to save a student in a terrorist bombing becomes a suspect in the attack."

"Superb fictional portrait of Henry James. Really delves into the heart and mind of the man. Toibin also demonstrates used observations of his acquaintances as material for his novels."

"I guess these books are pretty popular, although they don't appeal to me. This one seems to deal with a beast that lives under a museum."

"A superior psychological thriller. Weaves the protagonist's story with the narrative of a book she is translating. Eat your hearts out, Clark and Kellerman."
