Wait. What dentist? Was I whimpering with fear?

Thank you for hiring Mr. Scott Brick for the narration of your work. I can finally listen to your books. He brings life and warmth to the story. My friend saw you at the dentist. 🦷 🤣

My favorite detective series. The best, I think, is "Roseanna," but they're all great.
Every summer I read a mystery/suspense writer in chronological order. This summer, I read the Martin Beck series written by the Swedish husband & wife team of Sjowall & Wahloo from 1965-1975. All 10 are terrific, getting better and better.

Okay, who told you about my next book?
I gotta go @exlarson on this one. Guy could make the discovery of the paperclip into a can’t put down book.

I've always liked that phrase, "playing the man."

Lukacs's "Five Days" is excellent. For a really original take on Churchill I recommend David Lough's "No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money."
Read "Five days in London" on the splendid Folio Society Edition, didnt know about Larson book on Churchill, Im going for it!

No apology necessary. But thanks all the same!
I owe @exlarson a huge apology. I didn't immediately grab "The Demon of Unrest" because I was told it compared Jan. 6 to the Civil War. I deserve much criticism in falling for that fake news. Finally reading it now. Fantastic stuff as always. Sorry, Mr. Larson.

Proof that the universe does have a sense of humor. During the fierce storm that struck Eastern Long Island at 9 p.m. July 4, a tree fell on this porta-potty. Happily no one was inside at the time!

Sometimes knowing the ending actually helps amp up the suspense. You know what's going to happen, but you don't want it to.
Replying to @exlarson
Dead Wake is so good…it makes a page turner out of the story even though basically nothing happens the first few days plus you already know how it ends. Masterful.

Recently finished Thunderstruck, and that was the last of yours I hadn’t read. Love your books! Can I ask if there’s another project in the works??

@exlarson Just finished The Demon of Unrest. (Happily bought signed first edition at charity auction) I’ve got Masters in history and J.D. Very impressed with your work. What do recommend next?
