The Fifth Assassin by Brad Meltzer

PostDateIcon March 20th, 2013 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Mr. Bonelli

This novel is the sequel to The Inner Circle. It can be enjoyed without reading the first book, but the reader will have a better understanding of the characters if the books are read in order. This plot revolves around Beecher and the Culper Ring who investigate a killer who is imitating the assassinations of previous U.S. presidents. It’s fast paced, enjoyable with a surprise ending.

Threat Vector by Tom Clancy

PostDateIcon March 16th, 2013 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Mr. Bonelli

This is the latest novel featuring Jack Ryan, his son “Junior”, and John Clark. This is a frighteningly realistic portrayal of the potential new threat of cyberwarfare. The novel is fast paced, exciting and worth the effort to read all 973 pages (in LP edition).

The Black Box by Michael Connelly

PostDateIcon March 13th, 2013 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Mr. Bonelli

Harry Bosch, a detective in the LAPD open-unsolved unit, investigates the death of a Danish journalist occurring 20 years earlier during the LA racial riots. I really enjoyed how the author takes the reader on the case’s investigative journey. The reader gets to experience how a case unfolds from one clue to the next, and the need for a perceptive detective to understand the links. I had a hard time putting the book down.

The Blood Gospel by James Rollins

PostDateIcon March 6th, 2013 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Mr. Bonelli

This book is reminiscent of the DaVinci Code novel. An archaeologist, an American soldier and a Sanguinist priest seek a book written by Christ using his own blood. I enjoyed this action oriented adventure focused on the chase. It is the first of a planned series of novels.

The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom

PostDateIcon March 6th, 2013 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Mr. Bonelli

The man who becomes Father Time is punished for trying to measure time.  The story of 3 people’s lives and how they bring hope to the reader.  Not depressing.
