Welcome to a New Year of Book Club Books! As always trying to do more reading than last year but have a plan this year, so we shall see how that goes! Again I have New Year Aims instead of Resolutions and as with last year I am picking a word for the Year. 2023 was “Achievement” and I think, looking back, I did okay as I did achieve quite a bit. This year I have decided my word will be:
“Resolve” – A Firm Determination To Do Something
I think that will be a good word for me this year! Please check back in on January 12th to see the first book of 2024.

Now if you have followed me and in particular Book Club for a while you will know that I am a huge fan of Clive Cussler. Most of his books are modern adventures but with this set, The Isaac Bell Adventures, he put him in the early 1900 of New York, and he works as a Private Investigator for the Von Dorn Agency (styled on the Pinkertons).
The above is the ninth book in the series and as with all of Cussler’s books takes you on a great ride through the story. Isaac is called in to help catch a group of Italian Gangsters known as The Black Hand who are using kidnapping, arson and extortion on the citzens of New York. However bodies soon start to appear in the alleyways of New York attributed to the Gang and then a prominent figure is killed, followed by another and then they get word that they are out to get The President too. Can Isaac and his team of Detectives find the leader before any more bodies appear? As soon as they arrest one of the Gang Members two more seem to appear, who is in charge?
It is a great read and I am really enjoying it.
