Day 28: Die Trying by Lee Child

The second thrilling novel chronicling Lee Child’s epic ass-kicking hitchhiker: Jack Reacher. “Die Trying” finds Reacher, along with a woman whom he helps carry her dry cleaning, kidnapped right off the sidewalk and thrown into the back of a van. As he studies his increasingly dire situation, he tries to understand just who the woman he was kidnapped with is, against the backdrop of terroristic devastation waiting to happen. This was the second Child book I picked up and remains one of my favourites.

Day 14: Immoral by Brian Freeman

“Immoral” is a fast-paced, racy, hypersexual mystery novel. I liked it a lot. The characters were realistic and likable; the setting was gorgeously articulate, and the pacing was superb. I think the characters might have suffered from all being beautiful, because I don’t remember a single ugly one among them. If you want a quick, good read to digest, I definitely recommend this first standalone novel in a series by Brian Freeman.
