Running Blind by Lee Child

1.75

Disappointing. Realized early on whodunnit and roughly how, and although none of these books are plausible the murder method here is just plain stupid.

Happiness by Tim Lomas

1.25

Read the book in part to get some idea of the general quality of the research in this area - because it should be easy to get an idea from a book like this, written by a research scientist from Harvard. 

My conclusion from the book is that this field is apparently full of low-quality research.

Die Trying by Lee Child

3.0

Like the first one, very unrealistic for many reasons, but if you can disregard that and the gaping plot-holes along the way then it's actually a quite engaging book.

Killing Floor by Lee Child

3.25

Not realistic at all, but if you can overlook that it's a quite engaging read.
