Nothing Ventured by Jeffrey Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it. Reminded me of what I loved about the Clifton Chronicles. It just fun to read with characters I want to get to kno. I look forward to the second in the series. I feel that I get to know England by reading about these characters.
The story is easy to follow and the characters are easy to keep track of. I just enjoy the writing and the beautiful pictures that Archer creates in my mind. A detective in England, this is right in my wheel house and kept me interested through the whole story.

Class Act by Stuart Woods
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Back to his old tricks, Stuart Woods that is, he gives us several hours of fun with a nicely detailed story about some unlikely events and some unbelievable people. He is a master story teller and even this convoluted plot just seemed to be the natural order of things. At least in Stone's interesting and seemingly dangerous world. As always, I loved it.

City of Spies by Mara Timon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Never read about Portugal during the war and that's what peaked my interest here. I was not dissappointed. I learned about this aspect of WWII and was treated to a terriffic spy novel with an interesting set of characters. I loved it. Easy, pleasant style that was a pleasure to read. I learned just enough about the minor characters to understand them and the main characters came to life. It has a slow start but a great middle and end. Hope Mara Timon writes another adventure for her lady spy.
