Strip by Thomas Perry

I just finished Strip with a library copy. The Kindle edition was $14.30 which is about what you could buy the hardback for. What’s up with the prices of the ebooks?  Libraries are free, thank you very much.

Anyway this a great book. It has several strong but dangerous characters: Manco Kapak, a strip club owner who has been getting robbed repeatedly and is determined to do something about it, Spence, Kapak’s right hand man who has been assigned the task of getting rid of the robber, Joe Carver, a wealthy homeless guy who is the prime suspect but is innocent but is no guy to mess with, Nick Slosser, a bigamous police lieutenant  who has a big problem on the horizon. Perry sets all these, and a host of other characters up and then sends them crashing into each other. This is a book about setups and double crosses and double double crosses.

It reminds me of the old acts on television where the guy sets a bunch of plates spinning on rods. Well that is is what Perry does in this book. Then he sets the puts the the rods in motion also with chaotic results. This is a totally satisfying read if you like crime/thriller type books. It gets four stars out of four. Go to your local library and get a copy. Save yourself some bucks, send a message to the publisher.

    I love crime/thriller books so I will probably read this one.
    I’ve never seen a book over 9.99 on the kindle before. I’ll probably buy it through there anyway. There are 6 of us on one account to share the cost.

    Thanks for the recommendation! I love mysteries/crime/thriller and those are the ones I wrote as well, so I’m always interested in finding new authors to read! Planned on making a trip to the library this weekend anyway! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!

    Can’t believe the ebook edition is that expensive – it really defies the purpose of ebooks, doesn’t it!

    I have read articles lately where the publishers think anyone who has an ebook reader will be willing to pay higher prices for ebooks. Wanna bet?! No freakin way am I paying that much for something that is not a physical copy. Since I have had my Nook I have refused to pay any higher than $9.99 for an ebook. I was shocked to see some ebooks now are as high as $25.95! Publishers will learn the hard way that people are only going to be willing to pay a certain amount for an ebook.
    Oh and nice job on your review.

    Sounds like an exciting read.
    Interesting that the Kindle books are so expensive. You’d think they could sell them cheaply since there is no overhead.

    There are so many books out there so it’s nice to get a recommendation. I have yet to buy an electronic book especially due to the pricing like you pointed out.
