Scarecrow kept me hooked. Beside story enjoyed learning about newspaper work and behavioral science in criminal profiling and power of internet to disrupt lives. “One for the Money” was movie, liked the NJ blue collar character portrayals. fun flick.
That one and a few other spy thrillers really alerted me to the power of identity theft and how the internet can be used by criminals, the government and mere entrepreneurs can invade, control and manipulate our lives. It’s frightening. It did strike me as odd, however, that the title , naming the criminal as scarecrow, comes at final pages. I usually don’t read this genre but taking a break from historical fiction and my last thrift shop raid reaped three dozen of the murder, crime, adventure genres for now.
Such a good story teller and I enjoy just learning about the simple routines of daily living in those times about which he writes. I am a Jack Whyte and William Dietrich fan too.

Tough one, but for light humorous crime romp like Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series.

I can’t imagine not having a book in my hands for part of each day. However, I don’t like to ever touch the checkbook.
