On the book courier just now I have the book which scared our great leader half to death. Afraid by Jack Kilborn. Must admit, I'd not read it in the dead of night. On TB I'm reading The Eye Witness by Stephen Leather, having just finished the Barry Eisler book. In response to Sandra's question about my view on Geoff Harding, I think he is fair enough, but is rather badly let down by his female voices, particularly when, as they mostly do, they have foreign accents. I still cringe at the thought of his realization of the French female character in the dreaded da Vinci Code. Now Sean Barrett on the other hand.
