Start your review of Scratch Scratch One. Scratch One is a classic 'wrong man' tale where mistaken Scratch One can lead to murder. For lawyer, Richard Carr, a trip to the Riviera at the request of a prominent US Governor was meant to be equal parts leisure and work as he plays personal house shopper searching for Scratch One villa abroad. Unlucky for Carr, he happens to resemble a well known in the criminal underworld US Agent and becomes absorbed in a world better suited to James Bond than Scratch One clueless lawyer - though he does hold his own against t Scratch One is a classic 'wrong man' tale where mistaken identity can lead to murder. Scratch One for Carr, he happens Scratch One resemble a well known in the criminal underworld US Agent and becomes absorbed in a world better suited Scratch One James Bond than a clueless lawyer - though he does hold his own against the bad guys. Scratch One started off like a Bond film with Scratch One locations, quick kills, and breakneck action sequences. There was a lot of build-up for a setting which didn't really play out. The book primarily focuses on Carr, which is fine as his clueless character is well written and his own story evolves into a kind of hero much like what was promised in the early stages of the book, however, this is more pulpy than action with Carr more the accidental hero type. I enjoyed Scratch One, once the book gets into its grove the pacing is spot on and Carr is a likable character, the down side is the terror subplot really didn't come through and all that action in the initial build faded too quickly.

Once I decided not Scratch One practice medicine, I dropped the pseudonyms expect for convenience. I wrote too much, so I decided to publish some books under false names, and in that way, could publish more books. One of my favourite and most read authors. From the summer of until NovemberI read 19 of the 32 books he published. November was the 10th anniversary of his death. That's when I decided to do a project dedicated to Crichton. One book per month for the next 32 months. The thrillers Scratch One wrote as a medical student between and under the pseudonym John Lange were eight, and with the exception of the last one he wrote in the year he decided to publish under his own name Scratch One that lasted until his death, were a large part of his bibliography that I had not read. So I ordered them all in one go. Every time I need to review one of these I'll repeat this general introduction about his early writings rather than extensive reviews on each individual book. Because beyond the interest of reading early works of your favourite Scratch One, reading what he wrote and seeing his writing slowly evolving, they are not masterpieces and you cannot dedicate more than five lines for their sake. It's like Schwarzenegger movies. You are having a good time and that's it. And I also didn't want to confuse you every second day with a new book by Crichton.
