The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith
The novel benefits from Smith’s weaving of historic events into the fabric of his characters’ lives. The backdrop of the Soviet Union, with its necessary secrecy and inner conflict, makes it easy to connect with the characters. As a thriller, though, it resorts to somewhat formulaic, deus-ex-machina plot elements. [...]

Child has turned out his 13th novel about the former military police officer whose skills border on the superhero level, again finding Reacher caught up in a dangerous situation that only he can resolve. It is one that will get much, much worse before it gets better.
This [...]

The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith
Based on a real event that Gorbachev acknowledged in 2007 was the first courageous step away from Stalin’s brutal totalitarian reign, THE SECRET SPEECH is a great Soviet historical police procedural. The cast is strong especially the remorseful hero whose beloved daughter has become a pawn in a dangerous [...]

Gone Tomorrow (Jack Reacher, No. 13) by Lee Child
The opening sequence as poorly described above is brilliant as Reacher is pulled into an international mess one step at a time. The story line gets even better as the tension mounts as Reacher finds himself caught in the middle. Fans of the series will believe GONE [...]

On to my second lot of novels I’d like to see get made into a movie, or, in the case of the first, maybe a tv series.
Swan Song by Robert McCammon
Swan Song is a fantastic book. It has so much going for it and I think it would make a very interesting adaptation for TV. [...]

Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith
Rob Smith has written a cracking story about the powerlessness of the individual under Stalin’s purges, even if the individual happens to be the wife of a decorated war hero now working for the feared State Security Police. When Leo Demidov is asked to investigate his own wife, he knows [...]

Very excited for Tom Rob Smith’s latest, was VERY impressed with Child 44.
Lee Child always entertains, but I hope this one is better than his last.
