Recent Books -- Vanishing Games, Hades, Forty Thieves, Planetfall

I needed some escapism.

• Vanishing Games by Roger Hobbs. Pirates, Macau, Diamonds, Counterfeiting, high bodycount. Fun but not distinctive.
• Hades by Candice Fox. Cops with dark pasts taking the law into their own hands. Also a high body count.
• Forty Thieves by Thomas Perry. Now this was more fun, a husband/wife PI team run into a husband/wife assassin team, both trying to resolve a cold case. Bullets fly.
• Planetfall by Emma Newman. Ok this started out slow, a group of colonists on a new planet, but it went very strange, with a strange alien experience, and twisted humans.
