Updated post 127:After getting bogged way down by The Game of Thrones, I finally set it aside and took up a couple of new books and one new author.
Book 3: Mister X By John Lutz -- Pg = 454
Book 4: The Cutting By James Hayman -- Pg. = 336
This doubled my thus far measly total and got me on some sort of track.
Mister X was not the best book I have read by John Lutz, but true to form, he keeps you guessing until the end and throws in the twist you may be expecting, but not how you were expecting it to turn out. Mr. Lutz is always worth reading as his protagonists are always sinister.
The Cutting by James Hayman was a great book. This was my first book by him after reading that his books were compared to my favorite author John Sandford. This book did not disappoint and I got it from Book Gorilla, along with 3 others. I plan on blitzing the next 3 in the series.
