Anyone who knows me and this blog knows that I’m into reading serieses now. I’ve reading WEB Griffin’s Corps series. I’m reading Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series. I finished C.K. McDonnell’s Stranger Times series (which was a rare, wonderful, funny, find). I started the Sackett series, but kinda let that one fall off. I’m including some rare Dick Francis and that’s GOTTA be a series right? It doesn’t matter that he’s my favorite of all time. A Daniel Silva’s series. And now the third in the John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee series.
These are so much like Lee Child’s Reacher series its just silly. Better, to be sure, but still, it’s like looking in a mirror.
I love that these take place in the 50’s or 60’s. It makes me think that I’m watching them on an old Alfred Hitchcock presents or Twilight Zone. Remember watching Anatomy of a Murder? Sure we all do. It’s like that (by the way, that’s not only a great movie, it’s an amazing book too!).
So, as I love to catalog these things . . . Here’s the first line of the book. Enjoy! I did!
Starting with a car almost skidding off a mountain road? Is that something to grab the reader’s attention. You bet. What about with a main character getting shot in the first chapter. Double you bet!
Good stuff here.
