DeMille is great, especially if you are from Long Island.

Interesting. I watched The Big Short and quite liked it. I'll look this one up.

Loved reading Peter Egan's columns. I remember one series when he put a Chevy V8 into a Jaguar. Funny stuff.

He's great. The books are fun even though I read most of the columns when they were published.

Betrayal, Tim Tigner


Sounds like a romance novel but thankfully it's a spy novel. Image

His books are great! The first novel of his that I read was "The Charm School" and I've been hooked ever since.

Necrobump in hopes of resurrecting this thread. Let’s hear what everyone is reading these days.

Red Platoon - Clinton Romesha

Black Autumn Series - Jeff Kirkham & Jason Ross

Gray Day - Eric O’Neill

Kelly Turnbull Series - Kurt Schlicter (legit hilarious satire if you sway a certain way)

And of course Jack Carr
- Todd

Halfway through the latest Jack Carr and it’s the best one yet IMO.
