So many. A good portion of any Robert B. Parker novel…especially the Spenser (for Hire) series. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. The First Counsel and The Millionaires…both by Brad Meltzer.
Eric Burdens ‘Don’t let me be misunderstood’ the first line of the first chapter ‘f**ked from the get go’ and you think hmm this could be a good read and it was amazing
@Nena I have just read some reviews on Good Reads sounds interesting, will order it from the library. I often find though, when books have two timelines, one in the past and one in current times, that one is always much weaker than the other, usually the current time story. Did you enjoy both time lines or one more than the other?
@Sandra, I know what you mean, but this story was told so beautifully, that it flowed so well between the two timelines. I was surprised at how much I loved it. ?
Most of Chris Bohjalian’s books but especially Double Bind and Skeletons at the Feast. He writes his female characters with amazing precision and sensitivity
