I was late getting in on Mitch Rapp, but once I started I had to get in on the action. WOW, every one of these Vince Flynn thrillers is better than the one before. If you haven't read any of this series it's time to get started.

Cussler is one of the best. I really enjoy
his Isaac Bell character. Not only is it a very
good read but it is truly a learning experience
as I did learn quite a lot about oil in the
early 1900's.

For some reason I missed this one when it originally came out, and since I really enjoy everything Linwood writes I went back to catch up. This is right up there with his best.
Mr. Barclay makes it hard for you to stop reading. I try to always take one of his books when I go on a warm weather vacation and I am heading to Florida soon, so
one of his books will be taking the trip with me.

Something a bit different but an enjoyable read. Based on an actual abduction years ago. I had this book recommended to me by a couple of friends and it was worth reading

Review Date: 6/24/2021


This is one of the best books that I have read in quite some time. While it's a great read it also makes you think and to answer questions like "What would you do in this situation?" This happened several times as things happened and you wondered what you would do in that same situation. I know this is not a recently published book but if you have not read The Light Between Oceans, please do as soon as possible, you will not regret that decision.

Loved it. This is a series that can't be missed. So sorry to hear of the passing of Vince Flynn but he has surely left his mark. Mitch Rapp and his associates can solve just about any problem or situation and these books are hard to put down. Another A+ as usual.
