Yep, started with Tell no one, did the few stand alones then on the Myron & Win and the other stand alones as they came out. There were two really early Coben books released last year from his initial manuscripts, the previously unreleased 'Play Dead' and the incredibly rare 'Miracle Cure'. Just Miracle Cure to read (have it) to complete the works. Great author.happyhoppy wrote:Beerfuelledman wrote:Just wait til you meet Myron & Win

Liked the early Bolitar books from Coben but they got too samey, prefer his standalones.
Read all of Baldacci, best two, IMO, are Camel Club & The Simple Truth.
Currently half way through Lee Childs.
Also reading Stephen Leather (The Chinaman was excellent), Sam Bourne & Ken Follett

Just got 'The Affair' by Lee Child.
Will be my next read. Interesting in that it's set 6 months before The Killing Floor, and meant to go some way towards explaining how / why Reacher ended up leaving the Army.

That was one of my least favourite of the Jack Reachers.

Re: If you like Lee Childs you will also like???
One of the problems with books that come later but refer to the past before all the other books is that you have already gained your own ideas of his army life.
Many of the books made reference to things that had happened in the army and combined with his interactions with people from his army days gives an idea of what he was like and what he did. If the book does not tie in to these perceptions then you are left with the feeling that something is missing.

I do a write up of the week for a superleague I run in TFF.
My research this week lead me to that fact that Lee Child is an Aston Villa fan!

Great recommedation mate. Just got round to getting it out of library and finding it a compelling read.Giggs11 wrote:Reginald Hill - in a class of his own.
Try his last novel, The Woodcutter, as a taster.
Would recommend it myself but you beat me to it by over a year!!!
Also got the Lee Childs edited short stories Vengence for theMystery Writers of america.
He has a short story in it which is fairly throw away.
