http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/lee-child/ His bio even says that it was his first novel. I suppose he could have written a prequel, but that shouldn't disqualify The Killing Floor Last edited by Hampshire Nanny; 08-26-2010 at 09:06 PM. |

Currently reading and enjoying "Raffles" the gentleman thief. Amazing they can leave fingerprints behind and not be caught, ahhh the Victorian Age.

I picked "Moonstone" by Wilkie. I've been wanting to read it for ages. Although....... I would be nearly as pleased if "Boston Blackie" or "Skinwalkers" or "White Seed" were to be picked. This month's picks look interesting.

Never read a Lee Child novel, and I've always wanted to, so I guess I'll pick this one up and hop into the monthly read.

I started Boston Blackie last night. When I'm finished I'll move on to The Moonstone. If there's time, I'll do Raffles next.
This is the first time that I'm not waiting to see who wins before I start reading the nominees! |

I see what appears to be a glitch in the system. White Seed has three names of voters, but a vote total of only two.
Edit - I see now that the problem has been corrected. Last edited by GA Russell; 08-27-2010 at 02:12 PM. |

Jon, I noted that you do love that series and that book, especially since you have a thread discussing it: Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.
The Tin Roof Blowdown: A Dave Robicheaux Novel by James Lee Burke, according to the below quote, can be read out of sequence, though. quoted from this page Quote:
