The Malta Escape

pick

My first introduction to this series was The Einstein Pursuit and loved it! Bought this book a few years ago, and it kept taunting me on my TBR.
As History is not my strong suit, this took me the first 100pgs to get hooked. I really enjoy the Banter between the characters, and Jarrko is an awesome edition.

The Malta Escape | Chris Kuzneski

pick

Finished my sixth European country for #ReadingEurope2020 with #Malta

Love the Payne and Jones series, and this one was no exception. Plenty of history, especially about Malta, with this treasure hunt. Plenty of Knights Hospitallers in this one, as well as modern day Crime Lords from Russia as they travel across Europe looking for hidden treasure of the Knights Hospitallers. Plenty of humour, some people will enjoy this others won‘t. Also takes👇

The Malta Escape | Chris Kuzneski

This weekend will be reading the latest in one of my favourite series - The Jonathon Payne and David Jones Series. Love the two lead characters and the classic interactions between them. Love Chris Kuzneski‘s writing.
Will most probably take me to #Malta for #ReadingEurope2020 and #Pennsylvania for #SeparatedByaPondTour.

EadieB @Andrew65 “You have a friend in Pennsylvania.“ is the state motto! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB What a great motto! I have two in Payne and Jones, already made me laugh out loud! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Does it say where in Pennsylvania they are? 5y

BarbaraBB Malta! I have to remember this one! 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB yes my fellow PA litsy!! @Andrew65 I'd like to know where too!! 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 I've never heard of this series either, you always wow me with ones I've never heard of!! 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi Found this about author:
CHRIS KUZNESKI is the international bestselling author of twelve novels, including his latest, THE MALTA ESCAPE. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. Chris is the first (and only) adventure writer to win an ITW Thriller Award. Although he grew up in western Pennsylvania, he currently lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida where he will probably die 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB hmmm my neck of the woods!! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I think it‘s Mars, Pennsylvania (13 miles north of Pittsburgh) @Crazeedi 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 Mars is about 25 minutes from where I grew up!! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes, that is very near where @Crazeedi lives. 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi It‘s a great series. Although don‘t be put off by the first book. I think he was still find his style. Often have me laughing out loud. He is an American author but heard he is far more popular in the UK than the US! Great treasure hunting aspect to sone and historical connections. 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Wow! You definitely need to read them then! @EadieB 5y

Andrew65 He has also written The Hunters Series which @eadieb and I read as Group Reads and are possibly being made into a film. @Crazeedi (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I have read the first 2 books and have a few more of this series and his other series. @Crezeedi 5y

Andrew65 @BarbaraBB Already read the first part and some is set in Estonia too, so definitely worth remembering. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I‘d have thought you had read more of these. Been waiting a long time for this one. 6 years between book 8 and 9. 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 @EadieB I will definitely be looking for his books! Thanks again for the tip you both have expanded my good books so much! 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi His business is in Pittsburgh. Hope you enjoy them. 😊👍 5y

Librarybelle This sounds interesting, and as another PA Litten, probably a series I should check out! 5y

Andrew65 @Librarybelle I love them! 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 @EadieB @Crazeedi @Librarybelle Look at all the friends/Littens you have in Pennsylvania, Andrew—definitely a great state motto!! Thanks for another great book recommendation! ♥️ 5y

Crazeedi @gradcat 💖💖💖 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat Will have to make Pennsylvania my favourite place outside the U.K.. @Crazeedi @EadieB @Librarybelle 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 YES!!! And you can all come hang out at our farm! We have lots of land and room for fun times!! 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi That would be fun! Litsy on the farm! 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB 😉🥰🥰💝❤ 5y

gradcat @Crazeedi Omigod—that would be SO. MUCH. FUN. @EadieB @Andrew65 ♥️♥️♥️ 5y

Crazeedi @gradcat wouldn't it though! Backyard barbecue, walk a trail maybe, sit around a fire, watch us set off some fireworks after dark! Talk and talk and laugh and laugh...friends❤❤ 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi I‘m there! Lots of fun! @gradcat 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi I have the first 2 books of this series that I can send you. Do you want them? 5y

gradcat @Crazeedi @EadieB @Andrew65 If we could just get Andrew to the States.... 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB I should have known!! I just ordered book one from amazon so I'll have it. If I like maybe you could send 2nd. Thanks for offer!!

The Plantation

Crazeedi @gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 wouldn't that be loverly!❤ 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi I‘ve sent you both books. 5y

Crazeedi @EadieB thank you again for being my bookstore! 😘😍🥰❤ 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Never ever been! @EadieB @gradcat 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 You do need to come one day! @Crazeedi @gradcat 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Our choices are limited as my wife doesn‘t like to fly, which is why we have the motorhome. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Hard to get here without flying. I suppose you could come by water. It‘s only across the pond! 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 we could see that she gets sedated, lol , for the trip! I'm jealous of your motor home, I'd pick that over flying too!❤️ (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi I keep reminding her of Mr. T on the A Team. I love it when a plan comes together. Motorhome best thing we ever did. 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 hilarious, I'll bet it brings joy to your life every time you go! 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 I‘m opting for sedation for your wife! Just kidding...but it would be so fantastic to meet you guys!! 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat If I can get her to read The Hypnotist she won‘t need any sedation, the book will do it naturally. 😂 @EadieB @Crazeedi And yes it would. 😊

The Hypnotist: A Novel

Andrew65 @Crazeedi It does, relaxes us any time we get into it. 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 We‘re really killing this book...it is dying a slow, painful death... 😂 5y

How did that happen. A new book was published in one of my favourite series, The Payne and Jones Series. The first book in this series in 6 years! 🍾🥂

AlaMich So maybe there‘s hope for George RR Martin? Though ASOIAF is going on 7.5 years. But who‘s counting... 6y

Andrew65 @AlaMich And Patrick Rothfuss which is also 7 years! 6y

AlaMich @Andrew65 Neil Gaiman said GRRM “is not your bitch,” and I know he‘s right, but COME ON!! 6y
