The Confessor by Daniel Silva
An exciting, intriguing thriller focused on the Vatican and the Shoah. I like Allon as spy thriller hero. The use of art restoration as a metaphor for Allon adds an element not often seen in spy thrillers. The self-reflection about his past and the w...more

Introduction to the Philosophy of Sport by Heather Lynne Reid
Reid’s text does exactly what the title says: introduces the philosophy of sport. She covers the main stays of the discipline: the leading thinkers, the primary themes, and the central arguments. It does not go into great detail in any of these; the...more

Robert B. Parker's Wonderland by Ace Atkins

French Pressed by Cleo Coyle
French Pressed (Coffeehouse Mystery, #6)
by Cleo Coyle (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013

Transfer of Power by Vince Flynn
Transfer of Power
by Vince Flynn (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
An exciting thriller. Rapp is great hero; though not that distinguishable from other heroes in this genre. Flynn does a great job of painting the weasel characters as well as getting into the minds of the terrorists.
