A Book I Won't Forget & Happy 4th

Sunday evening the rain came down in torrents. I stood at the patio door and watched the deluge cascade onto the glass. A few times the electricity flickered on and off. 


I was thankful for it for two reasons. We always seem to need rain. And it kept the folks who otherwise might be outdoors popping firecrackers inside.

I detest firecrackers. Hate the noise. Always have.

I will be having those two small tomatoes setting up there on the top of the bottles with veggie burgers. 

I don't know why the tomatoes are so small. They aren't cherry tomatoes. Taste, however, trumps size in this case. They are juicy and full of flavor.

I finished this book on my Kindle last night.

I've now read two of his books. And after the first one, I was sure it was his absolute best, although I think it was actually his first novel.

But this one surpassed it. Yes, it's that good.

I think maybe it's the best thriller I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And that's certainly saying something because I've read a lot of them.

Obviously I'm not alone.

His work has been praised by James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen, Jeffery Deaver, Sandra Brown, James Rollins, Brad Thor, Nick Stone, David Morrell, Allison Brennan, Heather Graham, Linwood Barclay, Peter Robinson, Håkan Nesser and Kay Hooper.

The Crime Writers of Canada, The International Thriller Writers and The Private Eye Writers of America have listed his titles among the best in crime fiction. 

As a two-time winner of Canada's Arthur Ellis Award, a three-time Thriller Award finalist and a two-time Shamus Award finalist, the Library Journal calls him, “One of the best thriller writers in the business."

I have the other two books in the Jason Wade series on my Kindle. I can't wait to dig in. Then I want to read every book he's ever authored.
 
Have a happy 4th doing whatever you plan to be doing. I plan to have a quiet day with the pupsters.
