Books read in July 2010

books
61 Hours. Lee Child.  The 13th book in the series. Another favourite author and character with another fantastic story I could not put down. This one is different as it is the first part of a two(?) part story. Usually the story is complete in one book. This one is a combination of, amongst others, drugs, a prison, a town in South Dakota, a bus crash, a protected witness, a Mexican based drug lord and freezing whether. Compelling reading. 4.5 Stars
The Black Book. Ian Rankin. Next in the Inspector Rebus series. This one is about  two black book written in code by one of Rebus’s sergeants and another by “Big Ger” a master villain. One helps solve a 5 year murder mystery, the other puts “Big Ger” away. Not the best of the series as it all seems a bit contrived, but, its very readable. 3 stars.
Bourne Legacy. Robert Ludlum. Next in the Bourne series. Ludlum, a favourite author, again writes a compelling and interesting story. Multiple twists and turns in the plot and characters; some hard to believe, but, it is fiction after all!. Lots of pages for your money and lots of entertainment. 4 stars.
Mortal Causes. Ian Rankin. Another in the Rebus series which I am enjoying. This is about terrorists, Scottish terrorists with links to the Protestant terrorists in Northern Ireland. He also brings in Big Ger via a prison break and the Special Branch. These added to the Ger-B, the worst housing estate in Edinburgh sets the scene for a really thrilling book. 4.5 Stars
