Title: Portrait of a Spy

Comment: This is a thriller about a "retired" spy and assassin who is called back into action when he tries to foil a suicide bomber in London. Decent thriller and is the 11th in a series although I have not read the others.

Score: 6.5/10

Title: Promise Me

Comment: This Bolitar novel skips on 6 years from the end of the last one. He hasn't been involved in any of his usual investigations in that time. When a teenage girl goes missing and Bolitar is a suspect he is drawn back into a world he thought he left behind. A great story as usual from Coben

8/10

Title: Long Lost

Comment: One of Bolitars exe's is suspected of her ex-husbands murder in Paris. This leads Bolitar into a murky world involving terrorists and unknown government groups. Coben is still in fine form with this series.

Title: Live Wire

Comment: This is the latest Bolitar novel available and is another rocking story. It involved looking for his missing sister-in-law and brother and a recluse rock star. This character just gets better and better so I'm hoping that he will return at some stage.

Score: 9/10

Title: First Thrills

Comment: A collection of thriller short stories from authors such as Jeffrey Deaver, Karin Slaughter, Steve Coonts, Lee Childs and others. I enjoyed this collection as short stories are sometimes a good break from longer novels.

Authors: James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

Title: I, Michael Bennett

Comment: This is the latest novel available about the New York detective MIchael Bennett and is a good story. I don't mind most of the collaborative books from Patterson. This one does stretch the bounds of believability but is enjoyable.

Score: 7/10

Title: White Horse

Comment: A post-apocalyptic world is a dangerous place for the humans left after events have wiped out most of mankind. This novel uses a NOW and THEN premise to tell the story, i.e. The back story as to how this wipeout happened is revealed throughout the novel while also telling what is happening in the "current" time. A good debut novel from this author but doesn't really bring anything new to this kind of storyline.

Title: The Innocent

Comment: Another stand-alone novel from Coben. This author is one of my favourites, his novels are always a great read. In this novel the main character killed a man by accident in a bar fight and after serving his jail time tried to get his life back on track. One day his wife goes missing and he has to get her back.

Title: No Second Chance

Comment: This is a great read but very hard to read. Marc Seidman awakens to find himself in an ICU after being shot. His wife has been killed, and his six-month-old daughter has been kidnapped. This is a story about how he attempts to find his daughter.

Score: 8/10

Title: Tell No One

Comment: A good read from one of my new favourite authors Coben. Dr Becks wife was murdered 8 years ago but an image of his wife suddenly appears in a mysterious email. Is she still alive? Some good twists in this novel as well.

Score: 7/10
