Great month Dan. I haven't read the new Flowers one yet but looking forward to it.

The most fun element of Never Go Back was that the woman was just a female Reacher.

Good month! I liked both LEADER OF THE PACK and LET IT BURN. Think Hamilton might replace Pelecanos on my list, since Pelecanos' last 2 books, which both are Spero Lucas tales, were so disappointing.

I really like this series. Usually I prefer Cold War thrillers but these books seem fairly realistic and are pretty well written.

Good month Dan! Your description is intriguing for Burning Man.
I need to get to a Virgil Flowers book someday soon.

It was a good mix of favorite authors along with a NTM that turned out to be an entertaining read.

Good month Dan! I just received Leader of the Pack from PBS :)

Nice, Dan. You're reminding me of a few series I need to get back to, like Jane Whitefield and Andy Carpenter. I have the Virgil Flowers and the Reacher on request. Again.

Good month Dan. I'm currently reading Reacher's new one.
