Hairpin Bridge didn’t quite have the thrilling elements of the other two, but it’s an exciting cat-and -mouse-game with something a little different. No Exit sparked a bit of buzz, but his next book Hairpin Bridge didn’t, so I picked it up after reading and loving his newest, The Last Word. I loved No Exit, and once I started it, I didn’t stop until I was done. He is the king of the cat-and-mouse game trope and knows how to turn out those exciting page-turners using it. That’s what an excellent cat-and-mouse game has me doing, and Taylor Adams is one of my favorite authors for that trope. One that captures your full attention, that you pause everything and are so excited you are turning the pages as fast as possible to see how it all turns out for your characters. There is no better thrill than starting a book without wanting to put it down.
