I'm not only a writer, but a reader (I probably go through from 5 to 7 books each week). I appreciate honest reviews of my books and I do try to return the favor for other authors. Goodreads recently allowed reviewers to post the reviews we’ve done on our own sites. I am taking advantage of this to post reviews of other authors books here.

When Eight Bells Toll by
Alistair MacLean
My rating:
5 of 5 stars
Excellent ThrillerAs is true of many of MacLean’s thrillers this book stands the test of time.
This is one of my favorites by MacLean, chiefly due to the snarky irreverent narration by the Hero Phillip Calvert. Something that is sadly missing from the movie of the same name staring Anthony Hopkins, supposedly based on the book.
The book is chock full of plots, counter plots and red herrings leading to a final encounter in the boat house below Kirksides castle.
As always in a MacLean thriller, good triumphs over evil. Though as Uncle Arthur says, angels probably wouldn’t claim ownership of the agent who achieves the ending.
