Assassins blade by Sarah J Maas
11/22/63 by Stephen King
@Beth ? now I get the title!
@Rebecca you didn’t understand it was the date?
@Beth I didn’t realize the significance of the date until it was tied to “assignation” then it became clear quickly. I don’t read Stephen King so I didn’t give it much thought. Now I’m actually intrigued as I do like history.
@Rebecca try it…the best of King!
@Carolyn cool! I’ll have to give it a try.
@Beth, I don’t read King either but the subject of this one intrigued me and I thoroughly enjoyed it
It’s not ‘scary’ King…..it’s actually really good.
@Denise thanks for letting me know. I think I’ll read it then.
11/22/63 by Stephen King – about a time traveller trying to prevent the Kennedy assassination
I’ve not read it but maybe the Blind Assassin by Atwood

Craft room Dave Holwill. Really original
Only halfway through Dan Brown’s Origin, and it seems to be a equally about an assassin.
I am Pilgrim – brilliant!!!
11.22.63 by Stephen King
King and Maxwell by David Baldacci.
Agree on I am Pilgrim. Also Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz. It’s about a former assassin who quit and now helps innocent people in impossible solutions often by killing really nasty people. Great books
11/22/63 -Stephen King
The Chemist By Stephanie Mills
The Making of the President 1964 by Theodore H. White
11/22/63 by Stephen King
Look for Lawrence Bloch. He is best known for his series on a burglar, but his assasin books are equally amazing.
Nothing by Vince Flynn
Anything, not nothing, he was amazing
The ‘Mitch Rapp’ Series by Vince Flynn is about an assassin. The first book in the series is titled “American Assassin”. There are 18 books in the series. I’ve read the first 2 so far, and they were really good. Jack Reacher has killed a few…..that series by Lee Child is awesome too.
The Opening Chase by Cap Daniels.
Barry Eisler’s “John Rain” series…The Last Assassin…
The Alice Network. One of the best books I have read in years.
The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth – a great read about an attempt to assassinate the French President
I Am Pilgrim
Yup….
Please don’t assassinate your book club.
Does it have to be fiction? One of the best books I have ever read on the Lincoln Assassination.
Stephen King’s 11.22.63
Six Days of the Condor
Novel by James Grady.
The Small Assassin
Short story by Ray Bradbury
The Little Drummer Girl

11.22.63 Stephen King – brilliant book, not horror.
Top recommendation – brilliant read
Tom Wood. Been mentioned here already but Victor the assassin is great.
