A film noir type of book set in Chicago when Ms. Michael Tree is brought into investigate a murder where the woman is found over the bodies holding the gun. She finds the trail she has been seeking which involved her own husband's murder. This was a good one, a quick read. I liked Michael Tree. ...
My full review can be found on this link as well: https://www.diaryofdifference.com/2018/05/15/quarrys-climax-max-allan-collins-book-review/ Quarry’s Climax is the 14th book of the Quarry series, and even though I only had the chance to read this one, the rest of the books are certainly something th...
Collins series about murders during famous disaters is actually quite good. This one concerns the the Hindenburg and our hero is the writer of the Saint stories. In part, this allows Collins to use a little bit of the James Bond lust idea, but also it does make for some interesting asides. The...
Action? You want action? This book starts out with four of the top CIA agents in an area between two countries unknown to them that they are about to start a war.

Random thoughts I had while listening to this book: 1. I like her voice. Not so much his. 2. When was this story set again? I don't remember smart phones in the 1990's. Oh, it's contemporary... 3. That was it? 4. You know what, dear author, some of us watched the show because of Scully. So...

I had never read/listened to anything by Mickey Spillane before, but...
This is a bunch of short stories written by different authors using characters from The X-Files. It's like a bunch of episodes. Some kept my attention, and some lost me. The short stories' classifications are varied including mystery, horror-ish, supernatural, sci-fi, etc. Overall, I didn't like...
5 Stars! #FateoftheUnion Thomas&Mercer @MaxAllanCollins This book grabbed me from the beginning and would not let go.

This is what I've finished so far:"Grave Matter - A Mike Hammer Story" - Max Allan Collins and Mickey Spillane This was a fairly amusing story. Though there wasn't much of a point to me.
