Just joined the group and wanted to say "Hello"!
Finished re-reading Kerr's "A Philosophical Investigation." Would love to hear from others that may have read this brilliant thriller.
Cheers

I agree!! Also, love Leon Uris, although, I suspect, he wouldn't be classified as a thriller writer.

I agree!

Didn't he write stories set in WW II?

[Paul]

Sorry, this messaging is new to me. Please forgive me, for I'm unsure whether I'm replying to Christine/Icewineanne/Faith.

Leon Uris wrote WWII stuff; his masterpiece, in my opinion, is Mila 18, although Exodus is considered his best by critics.

As for Philip Kerr, the novel I alluded to is brilliant, for it's such a clever idea: a serial killer who's genetically predisposed to kill other serial killers. I was surpised Kerr didn't challenge the creators of Dexter, since it was essentially Kerr's idea.

The way Kerr decimates Ludwig Wittgenstein (the Cambridge version of Deepak Chopra), is memorable.

I guess I'll pass this one by Kerr. I didn't enjoy "Dexter" at all.

I enjoyed Mila 18. The page count may seem a bit daunting, but it's one of those books where time goes by quickly while reading.
