Paul Cook

One of my most favorite authors was Paul Cook.  No do not rush right out and try to find something by him - he has not written a book in 20 years.  But the ones he did in the decade previous to that stopping point I really liked.  So does Swede.

So, part of my stash here in the hospital was six of his book I have not read since the 1990's.  I first learned of him by picking up a book of his at an airport bookshop as I was jetting off to Scotland in 1987.  Good book ...

Same book, 20 years later, but a different Kris reading now - such utter garbage!  No nothing "wrong" with the story line - I just have changed to such an extent that his book held no interest what-so-ever to me any longer.

I picked up the next five books and they all came out with the same result!  Wow, that really took me by surprise.

I am so saddened!

Well luckily there is another author I like, Roy Maynard.  Alas he wrote very few books but I do like what he did write - still!  I stay in touch with him via eMail to encourage him to crank out a new one every few years!  But he does not seem interested in the idea,  sigh.

So reading a book by J A Jance right now to see if I like this prolific author or not.
