Body on the Shore by Nick Louth

The Body On The Shore by Nick Louth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a real mystery thriller with unexplained murders and plot twists that are inconceivable to the man in the street. It starts with the murder of an architect in his own office in London, but the murder gives the impression of being impossible. Firstly Gillard the detective works out how it was done but then is stumped by who, there are no plausible assassins in the area at the time of the murder. Nick Louth has written a first class murder mystery story that delivers you into a crazy world of blood feuds that just don't belong into today's modern society. Excellent.

The author puts on paper what you see with TV series like El Chapo or Narcos, graphic violence to protect the family and the business from any possible takeovers. It is well packed with action, some mystery and of course the no holds barred bloodshed.

Final Strike by William S Cohen

Final Strike by William S. Cohen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Everyone likes a good apocalyptic story story and this appears to fit the bill. Early on we know that the earth is threatened by an asteroid which could devastate everything if it hits. The book however concentrates on the politics for too long before getting to the business of saving the earth. That out of the way, the author builds a good picture of the horrors that could happen should Falcones team fail in their mission to get key information out of Moscow. Normally I would have rated higher but you have to be patient which I am not.
