Since I only brought three of the Aubrey-Maturin series on my vacation, I wanted to slow down and wait before jumping into the last of the three. So I found a paperback thriller, A Certain Justice, by John T. Lescroart. About what I expected. 500-odd pages fly by. The author throws in a few twists and turns, but you know where it’s going the whole time. This is a prime example of what my mother calls “an airplane book” — read it on the airplane and then forget it. No need to fill any space on the bookshelf. Kudos at least for a clear author website.
