The first books that I read by McCarty were his Border Trilogy which I liked. I then read some of his earlier work and did not like them very much. This book is as good, maybe better, than the Trilogy. Highly recommended.

A good read but not at the same level as her father. The language used in the book is very British English and laced with British legal terms; this could be a put off. I'll continue to read the series and see how she matures.

This is the first book in Cromwell's most popular series and his longest one. I'm going to be reading a lot of of Sharpe books in the months to come. It is typical Cornwell historical fiction which is always very good.<.p>

A very good Northwest America history. It has been written by a historian but not an academic although he was a teacher for a time during his very checkered carrier. He wrote 40 books about the American West which I hope to get around to reading.

This was the authors first published book. It is a very quick read which I enjoyed. He was one of the best known thriller writers of all time. The canon of Chase, comprising 90 titles, earned him a reputation as the king of thriller writers in Europe. He was also one of the internationally best-selling authors, and to date 50 of his books have been made into films.

Many of the town had been harmed by Thomas, and Hugh is not eager to send one of them to the gallows. Then he discovers that the priest John Kellet, atte Bridge's partner in crime in A Corpse at St. Andrew's Chapel, was covertly in Bampton at the time atte Bridge died.
