This book is one of the examples why I love reading crime fiction. There are many authors that I could describe as dependable, we know what to expect when we pick up their books and usually it’s very decent entertainment. But every once in a while you come across a book that refreshes the whole …
Let's take a look at another victim of my Cyprus crime/thriller reading spree. Earlier I read The Winner by David Baldacci, Camino Island by John Grisham, Run Away by Harlan Coben and Agent Running in the Field by John le Carré. Now it’s time to go back to Grisham and this time in a setting …
This is the fourth of my Cyprus crime/thriller reads. Previous installments were: The Winner by David Baldacci, Camino Island by John Grisham, and Run Away by Harlan Coben. So far Grisham and Coben came out as equals. But let’s be honest John le Carré is in a class of his own. I read his Tinker, …
