I have liked all of them, but I just loved his first series of five connected books (different protagonists but the same group of characters) . His first book was The Bridge of Sighs.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-13252240728361911142014-04-03T21:39:44.735-07:002014-04-03T21:39:44.735-07:00Kathy, If you try the Steinhauer, I hope you like ...Kathy, If you try the Steinhauer, I hope you like it. I do understand about the TBR list growing and growing.

However, I am tempted to read the Steinhauer, although I have never read a spy thriller in my life. Right now, I am so upset about what is going on in Egypt (sentencing 529 people to death in one fell swoop) and outlawing of all political protest, that I almost can't bear to read about that country. But I may try this book, given the good reviews.<br /><br />I am also tempted to read a book by McPherson and one by Wilkinson. But the TBR list is humongous, just got library books, with a lot more on reserve, received one in the mail from a writer and another one from a bookseller. And I'm determined to cut down more on my stacks, which are all over this place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-46036496418310321992014-04-03T13:28:15.906-07:002014-04-03T13:28:15.906-07:00I'd read two of yours (the King and the McPher...I'd read two of yours (the King and the McPherson), and now you've reminded me I was going to look up Stenihauer, mabye look at his earlier books.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-67402392420912757282014-04-02T17:05:36.253-07:002014-04-02T17:05:36.253-07:00Col, glad you are like The Cairo Affair.
