Love the Women's Murder Series
This is as great as the rest of the series. I am looking forward to reading the 7th soon.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

47 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

Vanguard Press, 2008

those who detract serve to prove the point
The 'one star' reviewers of this book serve only to confirm what lies behind the premise of it. While declaring that they have not, nor would they ever, read the book they continue this Administration's defining characteristic and what got us into this situation in the first place - decision making based on ignorance. In declaring they don't understand how such a book was 'allowed to be ...

Murder Is Binding (Wheeler Large Print Cozy Mystery)

23 reviews
Lorna Barrett

Wheeler Publishing, 2008

Great series!
Lorna Barrett creates a wonderful cast of characters in a cozy place most readers would like to visit, a comfortable mystery bookstore. Murder Is Binding, Barrett's first book in the series, makes us care about Tricia Miles and her sister, who's her opposite, and the people who inhabit Tricia's store. The mystery keeps us guessing and caring. I can't wait for Barrett's next book in the series. ...

James Patterson
Fast Reading and holds your attention until you finally make yourself put it down. I really like his style of writing. Short chapters and good plots all make the book a great read.

How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret, and Remorse

14 reviews
Mike Gilbert

Regnery Publishing, 2008

It's about time!
It's nice to know that some people still have a conscience. In reading this book, I gained quite a bit of respect for its author, Mike Gilbert -- it takes a brave man to admit fault to this degree -- and I hope he's better able to live with himself now. What troubled me the most was seeing how the defense attorneys operated. Their goal was not to assure justice. Rather, it was to get their ...

Murder on Bank Street: A Gaslight Mystery (Gaslight Mysteries)

Victoria Thompson

Berkley Hardcover, 2008

10th In The Series: Good Place To Start
Do you know the origin of the Pinkerton Detective Agency? Do you know about public perception of the bicycle in its early days? Do you know about "Old Maid's Disease" and its various manifestations? I especially enjoy learning something new while I'm immersed in a story plot. These three things were new discoveries made while reading Murder on Bank Street, the latest title in Victoria Thompson's ...

James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Vision, 2008

Very entertaining to listen to
This was the first "Woman's Murder Club", that I heard,(listened to)and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a great story and I love the way Carolyn McCormick is really able to pull you into the story with her character changes. It was produced & directed very well also with music playing at apporpriate time to add to the suspense and your enjoyment. If this is one of your first audio books it just ...

Blue Smoke and Murder

Elizabeth Lowell

William Morrow, 2008

Another great Lowell experience
I found Blue Smoke and Murder, by Elizabeth Lowell remarkable. Elizabeth Lowell is a New York Times bestseller of such titles: Innocent as Sin, Forget Me Not, Amber Beach, The Wrong Hostage, Midnight in Ruby Bayou, A Woman Without Lies, and Only Love. She resides in Arizona with her husband, with whom she writes mystery novels under a pseudonym. When Jill Breck saved the life of Lane Faroe she ...

Murder of a Medici Princess

4 reviews
Caroline P. Murphy

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

A story of family conflicts, furious politics and a mystery
At first, I scoffed at the title, thinking that this might be a work of fiction, and a real potboiler at that. And to be honest, despite my fondness for historical novels, nearly every other novel set in the sixteenth century seemed lately to be centered on either Tudor England or Renaissance Italy -- and both of them done to death. But in spite of my misgivings, this turned out to be a ...

4th of July (Woman's Murder Club)

James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Coming Back for More!
This series just keeps getting better and better. After just the first paragraph I couldn't put the book down. Not often do I find a book that holds my interest so intensely. With such great interaction between writer and reader the only way to get more is to read two at the same time while waiting for the next one to come "hot" off the presses. Please keep them coming. S.L. Chessor, Author of ...

Victoria Thompson

Great thriller
Victoria Thompson has done it again with the new Murder in Chinatown. This thriller has great character development and is a well written book you'll love from the beginning. Good subplots that make it a fun summer read. I highly recommend.

Holiday House, 2008

Best Youth Suspense Book EVER!
I first discovered this book in the 5th grade. I remember not being able to put it down..totally enthralled. I'd never read anything like it. It was SOOO suspensful..VERY creepy. I remember having trouble sleeping..kept seeing that house and the dolls in my head..haha. Yet, I checked it out many more time from the library..I just loved it! Now as a 29 yr old, I checked it out again from my ...

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)

124 reviews
Agatha Christie

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2006

a personal favorite
This book was probably about the 15th Agatha Christie Novel I had read and since then I have read almost 15 more- but this remains my favorite. This novel truly reflects Christie's ability to decieve the reader and have you on the edge of your seat. I have many times recomended this book to first time Agathe Christie readers, and have only gotten postive feedback. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a ...

Index to Murder: A Miss Zukas Mystery (Miss Zukas Mysteries)

5 reviews
Jo Dereske

Avon, 2008

Helma and Ruth are at it Again!
If one understands the critical acclaim of the hit TV series, Monk, it is easy to understand the appeal of a series featuring Miss Wilhelmina "Helma" Zukas. After all, if Monk were a fussy female librarian living in the Pacific Northwest, he would BE Miss Zukas! The two of them have quite a bit in common, not the least of which is their OCD-like behavior, their keen ability to observe, and ...

Murder in the Cathedral

T. S. Eliot

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002

Thomas Beckett as martyr philosopher; Shakespearean genius
The audiobook version of "Murder in the Cathedral" (with Robert Donat playing Thomas Beckett) is a surprising delight, especially for those who love rich language and philosophical musings. Centered around the age-old story of how Thomas Beckett, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered by knights for defying the king's authority, the play explores a variety of themes: church vs. state, the ...

7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)

98 reviews
James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Women's Murder Club series is 7th Heaven!
What an excellent series! I was not a James Patterson reader until after I started watching the Women's Murder Club on ABC. Then I went out and bought all of the books in the series! Each one can stand on it's own but you really need to read them in order for the goings-on of the central characters. Too bad the bozos at ABC cancelled the show before giving it a solid chance. The show may be gone, ...
