Quotes by Tom Lowe (?)

“I thought about that, watching the ambulance growing smaller in the distance, thought about the bottomless abuse of power by the bottom feeders gorging on the feedbag of greed while plowing scars into the souls of others, justified for the purported good of the masses, when it was really all about them.”
― Tom Lowe, Blood of Cain

“The sunset played hide-and-seek with leaves and limbs sauntering in the breeze, causing the old oaks to be painted in deep shadow one moment, then turning a golden light.”
― Tom Lowe, Destiny

1 likes

“there is no line of delineation between good friends and good family, and that circle of people around you is the wheel supporting your wheelbarrow and the baggage you carry in it. Family isn’t defined by blood any more than a person is defined by the color of his or her skin. Unconditional support parallels unconditional love and grace. Fortunate is the man or woman who has a large circle of family and close friends.”
― Tom Lowe, Blood of Cain

You're welcome. Lee Child has a nice formula or style that appeals to a wide, mixed audience of readers. He does it well.

Keep up your reviews!

Thanks for the friend add. I definitely will check out your book. I love Lee Child's books, even though they seem to be written for a male audience. Thanks for saying my review was insightful. I have been working on making my reviews better. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi, Jan. You can read the novels in any order. The Butterfly Forest would be a good one to start. I have rights returned from my former publisher. So a False Dawn and The 24th Letter will be available on kindle and nook soon.
