Read a couple of good reads recently - got cheap through Kindle's monthly deals (<$2 each), so good value.
Beneath a Scarlet Sky - Mark Sullivan. Story of Italian teenager Pino Lella, rebelling against the Germans at the end of WWII. Based on a true story, and Lella said that was '80-90% true'.
The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hill - Robert Dugoni. Story of Sam Hill, who is born with ocular albinism and his journey through life.
Both easy reading, good stories and books want to keep reading the next page. Recommend.
Thank you for bringing this author to my notice.
I decided to start with The Black Widow.A really great read thank you.
The Fox, by Frederick Forsyth is a good read.
I was given House of Spies so after reading that I read The English Spy which is written in a similar vane. I then read The Heist but didn't find it quite as enthralling.
I enjoyed The Syndicate by Guy Bolton you suggested Percy and on another note you may enjoy Judi Dench's latest film 'Red Joan'
A quote attributed to Margaret Thatcher goes along the lines of "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
Really enjoyed "The Strange Death of Europe" by Douglas Murray.
Easy to read and he raises some interesting conundrums to do with immigration and reproduction and how Europe wants to identify itself going forward from a cultural perspective. What does it mean to be European? How has this changed over time? Is Europe a place for the world? What is European culture?

Have now read House of Spies and The Other Woman,and The Black Widow by Daniel Silva.All great reads.
Will take a break with John Sandford's Holy Ghost before reading more of Silva's.
Also look forward to getting hold of The Border by Don Winslow sometime.
Well Holy Ghost by John Sandford was a disappointment.Like the character Virgil Flowers.Usually good reads.
Just finished The Last Refuge by Craig Robertson.A bit different style of writting.The story was set in The Faroe Islands, which I never knew existed.
Found google maps and general history of the islands very interesting. Ideal place for fish farming.!Eat your heart out NZK.
