Indiana Jones meets Da Vinci code, over the too ridiculous. I can understand the appeal but not for me.

Liked this one ok, but didn't love it. Was hoping for more, maybe? I don't know. Mixed feelings.

The movie Jackie Brown was based off this book. The book is good, like more Leonard books are, but for once I liked the movie version better. Of course, Jackie Brown is (IMO) Tarantino's best movie.

The nicest thing I can say about this Holmes pastiche is that it was short. Did not enjoy this one.

Interesting mixture of Poirot short stories, many featuring Hastings. At least one with Japp. One of the short stories was obviously the basis for the Mystery of the Blue Train which I had just read recently.
