Book Review: Shadow of Doubt 📚
October 30,2024After finishing the Scot Harvath series earlier this year, I was finally able to pick up Brad Thor’s latest installment on release day. This was a big deal; it was my first “light” summer read.
I fell into a slump around the time the book came out. I powered through half this summer and made no progress until this week. Regardless, I got it done, and I’m glad I did.
The book was very enjoyable. No gratuitous violence, just Scot doing what he does. The storyline was great with the normal twists without being too predictable. I liked the villains and living in the ripped-from-the-headlines storyline.
My biggest takeaway is that I’ll never know how to pronounce French words.
Would I recommend: YES

American Airlines Draws the Line Against Boarding-Group Cutters - WSJ
All major U.S. airlines do their best to maintain boarding order since priority boarding is a perk for frequent fliers, credit-card holders and big spenders, and is often available for purchase. But American is the first to develop an automated system that instantly flags offenders.
How was this not already a thing?
Chad Vossen, a 46-year-old chief creative officer for a video marketing company in Virginia, knew nothing of the test until he and a colleague tried to board in Group 6 instead of Group 8 for a flight to Phoenix. They had done it on other American flights and others, in hopes of avoiding gate-checking their camera equipment.
So he’s cool with the people he cheated having to gate-check their bags?
