I love these books but it is maddening that they have 2 or 3 different titles a piece. Ridiculous really.
I like to read series in order. I gave up on the Barry Eisler novels. Try Steve Barry’s Cotton Malone series. Good read and all of his books have, and have had, only one title.
I’m surprised no one has commented. Well, let me tell you, I’ve only got 2 books left to read & I will be sharing all these titles soon as I finish! Thoroughly enjoyed each title!!! ( I read books that are series) Keep up the good work…oh, oh, I see some more titles I need to checkout!
