Thanks, Carol. Hope you have a great Christmas too.

Wow, you are becoming quite the prolific author. I checked with my library, and they don't have your stuff yet, but I'll keep looking. Hope you are doing well. Have a Merry Christmas. Carol

Thank you for the book review and Andreis and James for your comments.
Appreciate you both. Carol

Sounds interesting!

I recently read a series by Jonathan Dunsky about a Tel Aviv PI who had been a policeman in Hungary before he was sent to Auschwitz. The stories take place around 1950, soon after Israel became a state. The sixth book in the series takes place in Auschwitz and explains a lot about who he is in the earlier stories. Unexpected endings in all of them.

Thanks bundles for the like. You are spoiling this old girl, but I like it anyway. Hope things are going well with you!!!!

Jim - Hello hello Hello. My curiousity is up. What did they do for algorithms that slowed things down. HMMM. Was happy to see your name. Take care.
No, you certainly haven't done anything to disappoint me, and now that you've sent me a message, it occurs to me that I haven't seen any of your reviews in my feed for a while, which is why you haven't had any reaction from me. It looks like GR has changed their algorithms again, and suddenly, I'm not getting nearly as many reviews from my friends in my digest as I was earlier, which probably accounts for this.

Thanks loads for the nice "at a girl". I really liked this book, and was interesting reading both Barack's and Michelle's books. Both very Commanding people. Highly recommend. Thanks again. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and stay away from Coronavile.

Not a problem. GR can sometimes be mischievous!

Carol wrote: "Congrats on your new book! Looks like a winner!!!"

Thanks, Carol. I'm really looking forward to the release.

Congrats on your new book! Looks like a winner!!!

I owe you an apology. I was writing a comment, then all of a sudden, POOF your "Like" disappeared. I'm very sorry. I appreciate the life. Feel free to re-enter if you don't mind!!!!

Hi Carol. No, I didn't. Not sure what you might be referring to.

Howdy James. Got a question for you. By Some chance have you entered my name into the Scottsdale Library. I was so surprised.

Thanks, Marty; I appreciate it. It's a bit awkward sending friend requests because I know a lot of people are automatically going to think that you're doing it because you're trying to sell books and not because you're genuinely interested in following their reviews. I'm looking forward to seeing your reviews.

Hi James - Thanks for the friend request. I often skip requests from authors, but I saw that I already had your first book on my list, plus I see we have a lot of books in common. I look forward to reading your reviews and books.

Sofia wrote: "Hi James, glad to meet you :D"

Looking forward to reading your reviews!

Hi James, glad to meet you :D

Thanks James, Ingrid, and Bobby. Hope you all are enjoying your new reads. Enjoy!!

Hi William,

Sorry the book doesn't seem to be working for you, but I certainly understand that it won't appeal to every reader; peoples' tastes are different.

The more violent chapters are earlier in the book, and there's much less violence of this type in Until Death.

Hope that helps,

Jim

I'm sorry, but how many chapters of sick violence towards victims can I expect from McClain in "No Place to Die"?

Can I just skip those chapters without losing the plot?

I'm really trying to like your book, James.

May I ask if this style is repeated in subsequent books?

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to reading more of your reviews.

Thanks for the friend request James. Thanks also for your 'like' of my review for I Hear the Sirens in the Street. I'm a big fan of Adrian McKinty's work.

I'm really looking forward to the new book too, Cindy, although it may be a while before I get to it. My TBR stack is completely out of control. Sandford will be at my local bookstore in a couple of weeks to promote the book and I'm looking forward to the event. He's always a lot of fun.

Thanks for the friendvite! I believe John Sandford, Stephen King, and Carl Hiassen provide a stable foundation for a friendship. I look forward to discussing Golden Prey with you!

I'm really looking forward to it to. Sandford will be here on the 25th to promote the book; it's always fun to see him.

Thank you for the friend invite James! I enjoyed "Extreme Prey" and am looking forward to the publication of "Golden Prey" later this month.

You're welcome, Carolyn. I'm looking forward to your reviews.

Thanks for the friend invite James!

You're welcome. I enjoy reading them and you've alerted me to several books that I've added to my TBR list. (Of course the list is so long now that I will probably NEVER get to most of the books on it!)

I have been wanting to tell you thank you for reading and liking my reviews. I appreciate that very much!

No Jussi Adler-Olsen on your bookshelves?

Wow--don't know where that's coming from. I'd better get after GR...

I started following you on Twitter. I'm @joyfulng. :-)
