Interesting 1st Det Zen (Rome based Police officer) Italian based thriller, Zen is plucked from Desk job to lead hunt for Kidnapped tycoon.. start of a 11 book series featuring Zen. Some nice insight into Italian culture with some funny dialogue also. The plot & prose was OK and certainly held my interest, done enough to make me discover more of Mr Zen in rest of series.. ]]> <![CDATA[Joe is on page 100 of Ratking ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77355990 Joe is on page 100 of 272 of Ratking ]]> <![CDATA[Joe added 'Hollywood Tough']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77355905 Hollywood Tough (Shane Scully Novels) by Stephen J.

A nice quick read, 3.5 stars for me. I really like the character Shane Scully and indeed supporting characters. As with previous book in series a little over the top in places & agree review listed in goodread that plot loses it's edge with the tropics bouncing around.. Still an enjoyable romp and the Scully character has me engrossed enough to go back for more.. ]]> <![CDATA[Joe added 'To the Bright and Shining Sun']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76617252 to: To the Bright and Shining Sun (Paperback) by James Lee Burke
Lovely well written novel, Burke does a great job portraying the difficulties encountered within a young poverty stricken mans life in rural mining country. Highlights what a great author James Lee Burke is.. ]]> <![CDATA[Joe added 'Blown Away']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37947251 to: Blown Away (Frank Corso, #6) by G.M. Ford
