I'm now reading the latest Lee Child Jack Reacher story, Midnight Line(?) As a palette cleanser between proper books.

I'm half-way through the story and I love every sentence.
It's heartbreaking and beautiful.

Is Frederick Forsyth a favourite of yours? If so, I think you will enjoy 'Avenger' (2004). I have read it three times at least and I never get tired of it - I think it's because I love heroes.

I'm putting this book aside for a while to read Dennis Lehane's latest book 'Since We Fell' (2017) - irresistable.

I’m reviewing The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally. I read it many years ago and this revisit is enjoyable.
