I can't get enough of Martin Cruz Smith

My caption says it all.  Yes, MCS has written better novels (Rose is still my favorite). But so what.  I love the jaded resigned sarcasm of Arkady who clearly must be Martin.  And I love his insights into culture: Russian, English, Cuban and Japanese.  Martin Cruz Smith is far more than a mystery writer.  He's a writer.

I'm so in love with this book. It has the quick-wit and sharp writing you always expect from Mataya mixed with a strong message of self-discovery. The premise is fresh and kept me turning page after page. This was a one-sitting read for me. The sex is hot, the thoughts are kinky, and the story is tight and superb. I'm already dying for the next book!! I've submitted completely and hopelessly to this series and this amazing author.

I have been reading Wilbur Smith since my friend gave me a copy of The Sunbird when I was in the hospital in 1980, I was happily hooked from the start, he is a prolific writer and I have never been disappointed in the books I have read which are many.

I've been in love with Draven for years. YEARS. This is the first book I read of Mataya's and has always been my favorite. Well, probably a close tie with MAKE ME. I love everything about Syxx's story, the characrters, the heat level, the excitement. Mataya has a knack for weaving awesome storylines with equally awesome casts, and MOONDREAMER: THE SOWING has some of her best, most lovable characters yet! Just wait until you meet Tipper and Sakarius! For supporting characters, they sure make their presence known in a big way!

Jump into THE SOWING as soon as you get the chance.

Try not to wish Syxx was your IRL best friend. Try not to fall in love with Draven and Sakarius. I double dog dare you.

I fell in love with all of the characters and am dying for additional books, updating their story.  I'm hoping Drake/Kate somehow get to raise Liam!

I love almost all of SE Smith's stories, but this one is a favorite.  Great world building, great characters.  Please keep 'em coming!

I love these Bruno novels.  Can't get enough of them!  Interesting history of the Basques, Communists who led the Resistance during WWII, and archeology--seems like a strange mix, but it worked!  Always learn something new from Martin Walker.

I have read all Pepper Winters books in the "dollar books" series and can't get enough of them. The stories are so exciting I can't put them down, I am in love with the deep, strong, sexy men, and I love the women characters too. These books are so different to any others, and you will get hooked from the first book, and won't be able to stop reading.

The story continues.  Look, I reread books compulsively.  I have been putting off rereading the Earth Song series because I have a long trans pacific trip upcoming and I want to have something guaranteed to be excellent.  Mark has hit it out of the park with this series and I gladly recommend his books to anybody who loves good SF.

Loved this story of the continuation of the Alfonzo saga. I just wish the book was longer. S.W. has a beautiful of telling the Alfonzo stories in how she describes the scenes. I feel like I know the characters, feel what they feel and can imagine each scene vividly. This series is like crack. I can't get enough and can't wait for #18. Thanks S.W. for a wonderful series.

I am always thrilled when I find out that Mark Mynheir has something new coming out. He is so good with his stories, and his experience as a detective in the past makes him a great man to write such stories. If you've ever read anything by Mynheir, the plot always thickens! So hold onto your hat, or your fedora, and put the Jim Beam back in the hiding spot where it belongs for now. The time has come to go at it once again!

Ray Quinn begins this mystery and adventure with haymakers and his cane in a bathroom stall, with Crevis on his heels. His disability may have him hobbling, but Ray is still a force to be reckoned with.

So when a new client, with a lot of money, asks Ray to take a case for him, it should be fairly easy. All he has to do is find an ex-cop, Logan Ramsey, and get some very valuable information. Nothing to it, right? Well, Logan is indeed found, so the easy part is done. But he's found dead in a hotel room, with a knife buried in his chest. Things just got a little bit more complicated for Ray and his client. Only it seems as if his wealthy client isn't telling the whole story. What does Mayer Holdings Inc. have to hide?

Ray and Crevis are on the case, while Ray battles his own personal demons, and Crevis is struggling to study for an important exam that could make him a very good cop in the future. And Jim Beam always lies around waiting, just in case Ray needs to pick himself back up.

It is always a thrill to see Mynheir go all out, and I've never been disappointed by his work. I have always been impressed by what he writes, and I never get bored. And when I never get bored, I look forward to more! So now I'm holding my breath, waiting for Ray Quinn and company to go at in once again! With the help of Mark Mynheir, that should be a story in the making. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I am personally a huge fan of Sherwood Smith's work, having first fallen in love with 'Crown Duel' and it's sequel 'Court Duel'. Smith's novels, as usual, prove to be thoroughly entertaining and worth every penny! I get lost in Smith's beautifully detailed and imaginative worlds--and I never wish to return! Although, the Crown Duel series will always remain top of my list..'Trouble with Kings' has earned a place as one of my very favorites! As usual, I anticipate to read more from this talented author!

He writes too many books; one would think of him with suspicion. But I can't help myself -- the more of his books I read the more I love what this man can do , and do, it sees, so effortlessly. This is the second or third 44Scotland Street book I've read. I have gobbled up whole almost all of theAfrican stories and pecked at the ones about Jamie and his Almost wife. I didn't expect to like the44 Scotland Street series. Alas,I have falls. In love wth it' collection of very Scittish characters. I will go on to read them all. I day readers who read one will be satisfied with jus one. Hurray for a prolific writer who can keep his stories so prolific and so consistently good.

I'm a senior who has been reading 2-6 novels a week for my whole life, which adds up to a LOT of books.  When it comes to main characters there are the heroes in life, the sexy hunks, those complex and filled with angst, and many others who are admirable. There are even the bad guys that one loves to hate. However, this is the first time I've fallen in love with a character who is so unlucky, accident-prone, inept, weak-willed, and somewhat weak in the morals department!  By the end though, you realize that he's also funny, sweet and altogether endearing. The other main characters are mysterious, unexpected, and thoroughly capable.  They help our bumbling main character survive adventures and, eventually, grow and thrive.  I just looked at a review or two on Goodreads and the author is described as having a cult following.  I can certainly believe it!  Martin is very creative  and, in these three books, very original.  I don't know whether to hope that his other books will wow me as much or (thinking of my thin pocketbook) hoping he crashes and burns after these. lol  If the rest of his work is anywhere near as good, I'm afraid I'll have to find everything and read them all.  I might have just joined a cult.

I just cannot get enough of Smith's work. I love his style of writing and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. As always, I am waiting for the next books to come

I liked and admired Martin Short before listening to his audiobook, but now I love him!!! It's a wonderful book! It's funny and poignant. Listening in my car, I cried all the way home during the chapter where he lost Nancy. Great book, I must say.

Once again Mr Smith has taken us to the brink and let us stare in the face of terror like no other. I love his writing, great characters , fast pace and full of surprises. This book has risen the level once again. I would advise you to start at the first book, it's a dilly and just keep reading from there, you won't be sorry. I highly recommend his work.
