The Drifter | 
pickWhat a great book! And it‘s Petrie‘s first novel? Unbelievable. The Drifter is the first in a series about a Marine vet coping with PTS, in this story trying to help the widow of a friend, and getting caught up in a plot that could kill thousands. Petrie writes like a pro, establishing characters I hope I can see again, and deftly throwing in red herring and avoiding cliches. Read this book!
If you‘re broke and need a new audiobook or just like this kinda stuff, it‘s available in the Volumes app.
pickFirst read of 2018! A solid thriller featuring a tough yet kind vet with PTSD trying to figure out how his buddy died. The ending is a little rushed, but veterans issues are interwoven well into page-turning action. I prefer female protagonists, but got this for a new book group & enjoyed it. #4stars #goodcharacters
pickThis book was awesome! Can't wait to read more 'Peter Ash' novels. (Not a Jack Reacher re-make at all.) Peter is a vet with "static" (PTSD). While helping a friends family he stumbles upon a plot of epic proportions. He begins to find a purpose again. Great action and couldn't wait to find out what was next! ???
pickSimilar in entertainment value as the early Reacher (Lee Child‘s) Books. But a less omnipotent, more damaged, in other words, a more human Reacher. I‘ll be reading more.
pickPeter has PTSD and has isolated himself from everyone. When he hears his best friend has committed suicide, he decides to pay his respects by doing some carpentry work for the widow. What he doesn‘t expect to find is a huge, pissed off dog and a suitcase with C-4 and 400,000 dollars stashed under the porch. If you like Robert Crais‘ Joe Pike series, you will like this high octane adventure. It isn‘t deep but it‘s a fun ride.
Nick Petrie, accepting the "Best Debut Novel" Thriller Award for THE DRIFTER! If you're looking for a new series, this is an awesome one.
"Living by your word was both a promise and a threat. " ---- Really enjoying this book!!!
pickThe term "page turner" has always bothered me somewhat. As if getting SO deep into a book so very quickly that you cannot put it down is EVER bad thing. This was, indeed, a "page turner" with teeth, humor, compassion, honor, action, and rather poignant political view of our veterans tossed aside like so much trash when they return home. Pick it up, devour it in a day, and be better for it.
pickA friend recommended this book and I'm so glad she did! A fabulous thriller set in my home state of Wisconsin. The author combines action, mystery, and a very smelly but loyal dog into a really good story. I hope we see Peter in more stories. And it's the first book finished on vacation - off to a great start!
Went to one of my favorite indie bookstores in Rockport, MA and found this book. Sounds good. Very excited to check it out.
