Presumed Dead av Hugh Holton

A very twisty story about a police detective who is injured during a routine drug bust at the National Science and Space Museum. While he's resting he discovers that over the years people have gone missing there and none of them have been found, his curiousity piqued he finds himself caught up in a twisty story and also starts to find a relationship with a co-worker.
It's an interesting story with well-drawn characters even if they seem to be somewhat over the top. It flowed well and kept me reading.… (mer)

Time of the Assassins av Hugh Holton

It's rare that I abandon a book. I got about 100 pages in and realized I just didn't care. Something struck me as very artificial about the characters, almost cartoonish. Sorry. I'll try one of other books as he comes highly recommended.

Violent Crimes (A Larry Cole Mystery) av Hugh Holton

This book had a few twists but most were fairly obvious. Unfortunately, the author turned what could have been a really good storyline into a fairly boring book. I had to struggle to get through it and I've already forgotten most of the salient points. Not worth my time.
