dog Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Done all the Jack Reachers. Any suggestions for something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 David Baldacci is not bad, similar to the Reacher novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 James Lee Burke's novels are ok, in a similar vein. As are Ian Rankin's Rebus novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 John Sandford's 'Prey' series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Try the Rebus books. All excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Also John Harvey's Resnick novels. Like Rebus, but set in Nottingham. Helps to read both in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Lots of old Gollancz science fiction books from the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I always find any James Patterson or John Grisham book very easy to read and not too demanding, whilst retaining interest. Patterson mainly action books, and the 'Private' series are pretty good. Grisham is mainly courtroom drama or legal based, very clever and simple. For stand alone books, some of the Stephen King books (Mercedes Man, Finders Keepers, 11.22.63) are worth a read. The Millennium Trilogy by Steig Larsson is a must read.

uttoxram75 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The Ben Hope series by Scott Mariani are similarly preposterous as the Reacher books only he’s an ex SAS Major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe they have been re-written but taking place from the guys perspective, still cant blame the author if people are daft enough to buy them.

What happened to the psychic stuff? Sweet Heart is good by Peter James. Agree regarding Roy Grace series. Think he wrote too many and watered down the effect.
