Bibliophilia: A Devil Is Waiting by Jack Higgins

A Devil Is Waiting – Jack Higgins

Lord knows I loved The Eagle Has Landed and maybe a few of his other early ones, but the last few of his I’ve read are getting a bit goofy now. The characters and circumstances are just getting loopy. His insistence on somehow tying the IRA into everything comes off as hanging on to a formula that worked at one time, but now just needs to be ditched.

Bibliophilia: The Wolf at the Door & The Judas Gate – Jack Higgins

The Wolf at the Door  Jack Higgins
The Judas Gate – Jack Higgins

Another thriller writer who has been at it for a long time. For my money he doesn’t have the same impact as some. They’re a fun enough read, but they lack the oomph that others in the genre have.
