I thought I’d take advantage of this small window of opportunity while Riley is sleeping somewhere else to write a quick post. I’ve been trying to read Silver Birch books one week then a book of my choice the next week, alternating as often as I can whenever possible. Last week I flew through the newest book by Canadian lawyer-author Robert Rotenberg, a spy thriller called One Minute More. Set in 1988, just days before the G7 Summit meeting in Toronto, the Metro Toronto Police Chief gets a tip that there will be an assassination attempt on the world leaders, so he sends Detective Ari Green to check out the cross-border Fourth of July parade in a sleepy Quebec-Vermont area. What he thinks is a long shot turns out to be 100% accurate, but with nothing much to go on, Green searches for a clue to two sudden deaths that look like natural causes but are very likely linked to this tip. What follows is a wild ride told from various characters’ perspectives and count down to the very minute of the G7 leaders’ appearance on the balcony of University of Toronto’s prestigious Hart House. It was truly unputdownable, and an interesting way for Roterberg to give a whole detailed backstory to one of the main characters in his series. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it if you want something fast-paced, a story that will pull you along and keep you up late reading well past your bedtime - make sure you have ample reading time each time you pick it up!
That’s all for now. Take care and Happy (post) Easter!
Bye for now... Julie
