After all, three stars means "good" in my rating system. It just isn't "very good" or "exceptional" and even Michael Connelly has some two star ratings in my reviews!Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-16715417565938139332017-11-27T16:04:13.658-06:002017-11-27T16:04:13.658-06:00Did you read The English Assassin?

I have an observation however... Aren't all the mysteries and thrillers we read formulaic when parts of series? I think they all are to a certain extent.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.com
