Andrew Peterson Book Reviews:
I just finished “First to Kill” the fist book of the Nathan McBride series. I’m a fan of the Lee Child’s Jack Reacher book and saw a review that said this was like those so I gave it a try. To be honest I liked it better. Although brute at times the McBride character seems much more human, has more depth of character. For example, although the doesn’t have a wife or children he has close friends. He is open relationships with other people. He realizes he is psychologically damaged from past experiences, but has learned to deal with it. The story itself is non stop action that I found difficult to put down. The fact that Peterson was able to develop a few I depth characters with the fast pace do the book speaks to his writing ability . I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be starting the next immediately. Submitted by Pat B.
