The Dawn Patrol
The Dawn Patrol | Don Winslow
From the bestselling author of Savages (now an Oliver Stone film). As cool as its California surfer heroes, Don Winslow delivers a high velocity, darkly comic, and totally righteous crime novel. Every morning Boone Daniels catches waves with the other members of The Dawn Patrol: four men and one woman as single-minded about surfing as he is. Or nearly. They have "real j-o-b-s"; Boone, however, works as a PI just enough to keep himself afloat. But Boone's most recent gig-investigating an insurance scamhas unexpectedly led him to a ghost from his past. And while he may have to miss the biggest swell of his surfing career, this job is about to give him a wilder ride than anything he's ever encountered. Filled with killer waves and a coast line to break your heart, The Dawn Patrol will leave you gasping for air.

Honestly, not great. Writing was meh. I mostly finished it because I own it and because it‘s set in the area I‘m staying. #sandiegosummer

How have I not heard more about this author? And how can it be that I am just now reading one of his books? This one is my first by Don Winslow, but it definitely won't be my last. So good. Great characters, great action, just great story telling.

Beckys_Books The Power of the Dog is also very good! 7y

Beating the heat - like the book says, the end of workday beer is one of the best beers there is!

Almost done with my annual summer re-read of this. It really is one of the most perfect books I've read - confident, with great prose and characters who feel like ohana. It also reminds me that I need to go to the pool! 😂

Spending my #4thofJuly with one of the US of A's finest literary "inventions," the detective novel. Although, like all our great inventions, it has been built on and enhanced by people around the world, from all walks of life. We are truly better together. Also pictured: sleeping dog!

Snagged this recently from #Audible as a daily deal. I just love ❤️ Don Winslow's writing style. Ray Porter is my favorite narrator. I liked this story about surfers 🏄 and the search for a missing woman. Good mystery, suspenseful and lots of character detail.

Don Winslow kept me company while I made carbonara for dinner tonight. Ray Porter captures the dry, snarky sense of humor perfectly with his narrations and I love how much detail and backstory Winslow provides on his characters.

#AugustPhotoChallenge for Day 4! Don Winslow writes really dark novels about the drug trade, but he also writes some of the best #bookishsquad books ever! The Dawn Patrol is a perfect "hang out" detective novel, with an eclectic and fun group of characters you'll hate to leave! The other two novels have similar vibes - I love Bobby Z, with one of my favorite lines ever: "I have a problem with impulse control!" Check 'em out!

TheSpinecrackersBookClub These look quite interesting. 8y
Christy2318 There is a movie of Bobby Z with Paul Walker. Pretty low budget but entertaining. I didn't know there was a book. Off to check these out! 8y

I saw the movie THE NICE GUYS yesterday and loved it. If you're a crime fiction fan at all, you will dig this (and I'll be picking up the tie-in book). It reminded me a lot of the chill, laid-back vibe of Don Winslow - a great summer author and worth checking out.
