The Accomplice by Joseph Kanon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A good, uncomfortable book. The story is unpleasant.What did I expect in a story of Nazi hunters in the years after the war. Kanon pulls no punches and tells the story the way it might really happen.
I spent a week in Buenos Aires a few years ago and his descriptions of the city and its flavor are spot on. I hope he got a vacation out of the book.
It is obvious that Nazis ended up in South America. We don't know much of how they got there and how they were sustained as members of the upper classes in these countries. This book gives us some of that.

Blue Moon by Lee Child
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I like all Lee Child books. I'm love the heroic and positive nature of Jack Reacher. He is gentle, caring and ruthless as hell. When people interact with him they see the side that is appropriate. Jack seems more authentic in this story, his friendships made in the context of the story are quite appropriate for him, maybe not so for others. For a few brief pages I thought he might have an amorous sidekick but alas, romance is not his forte.

Great book, great story bravo Lee. Write me another please.
