I also like Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, although his books are more guy-centric books, and after the first five or so they do get a bit repetitive. If your friend likes to take it up a notch Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko books are superbly written with great intelligence and thought, but his work is more on the dark/bleak/depressing side. I should also put in a good word for my favorite mystery novel of all time, The Main by Trevanian; brilliantly written, unflinching, sad and surprising, but probably out of print. the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-60729172608713527102016-11-29T01:03:39.996-05:002016-11-29T01:03:39.996-05:00Keep at it, Ron.

I would never have picked it up either though thanks to the blueberries (I'm not a fan either) but reading a bit of the first couple pages and it's a buy for me.<br /><br />Hope you had a great holiday!
