The Fourth Perimeter by Tim Green

This is the first time I have read a Tim Green novel. He has a nice style, it is paced well and it kept my attention. The plot was a little too transparent though. The true villain was too obvious way too soon. Otherwise it was a good story. Loss of a child and the anguish and anger that can accompany the loss was well portrayed. The protagonist was portrayed with raw emotion and fallible behavior. As mysteries go it wasn’t too mysterious but as action and adventure I recommend it.

Last Man Standing by David Baldacci

Apparently Baldacci decided he needed more action in his books. Well, he certainly went over the top on this one. The book has kidnapping, murder, sex, swat teams, guns, more guns, drug abuse, radical fringe groups, wealth, privilege, anguish, guilt and more of the same. This is a serious page turner whose major theme is dealing with guilt and anger. That isn’t going to be obvious until you work through the book. Some solid psychiatric principles were at work in this book. Baldacci writes a truly compelling tale. Read it!
