Latest Chicago Sun-Times column

My latest column ran this morning in the Chicago Sun-Times. It contains reviews of the following books:

Harlan Coben: The Woods
Lee Child: Bad Luck and Trouble
John Sandford: Invisible Prey
David Ignatius: Body of Lies
David Baldacci: Simple Genius

I liked the first four, didn't like the last one.

I'll have to pick up Body of Lies. Ignatius's Agents of Innocence is part of the career trainee course curriculum at the CIA's Directorate of Operations (or at least it was, BITD) because it's depiction of agent recruitment is so realistic. Great story, too... and so was his book A Firing Offense.

See my review of BODY OF LIES at my blog, www.writingdoctor.typepad.

I liked it. I'd love to talk to someone about the ending.

I interviewed Ignatius, who didn't tell me why he opted for Sunnis.
