The Maze by Nelson DeMille

 

The Maze by Nelson DeMille

Starred review.

Summary: John Corey is back on Long Island resting away at his rich uncles house when former lover Beth Penrose shows up with a offer for a PI job nearby. Corey is reluctant but because he gets an offer to reacquaint with Beth he follows through with and interview. Obviously Corey spots the trap pretty quickly. 

Comments: DeMille starts the book out a tad slow, but he quickly turns on the jets and John Corey is back, funny, and rage filled as ever. Great stuff from a master writer.

Gangland by Chuck Hogan

 

Gangland by Chuck Hogan

Rating: Stared review

Summary: Chicago’s  longest serving capo sets Nicky Pins up to take care of some personal business when a jewelry heist committed by another group of expert thieves is not taken keenly by rival gangland capo. Nicky puts all his pins in one basket along with his child hood friends to keep Tony Accardo happy. 

Comments: Having Hogan writing again would be enough of a celebration, but then he goes and writes the best book of 2022. A can’t miss thriller/heists novel. Keep writing Mr. Hogan, keep writing.
