“Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins (Book 3)
I loved EVERYTHING about this series, and particularly, MOCKINGJAY, the last book of the trilogy. Brilliant plot, lots of action, plenty of suspense. It’s such a page-turner.

DEAD MEN’S DUST, the first Joe Hunter thriller is a good read. Joe is a former Special Forces soldier who has worked 14 years as a counter-terrorism agent. The book has the necessary ingredients that make a good thriller, but it did not excite me as much as Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. — read more

As a last resort, the author scribbled on a scrap of paper, Talk… — read more
