Point Blank (FBI Thriller (G.P. Putnam's Sons)) 55 reviews
Catherine Coulter
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2005
Can't wait for the next one
Don't have much more to add about her FBI series except I find them fun, exciting, hard to put down and very very entertaining. I hope the newest one comes out in paperback soon. Her books are one of my "author keepers" and I only lend them out to special people who know how to take care of books. I anticipate reading them over and over again.

The Shooters - A Presidential Agent Novel45 reviews
W. E. B. Griffin
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2008
Griffin hits the mark again
The ONLY thing I don't like about Mr. Griffin's books is that because they're so hard to put down, I'm done with them in no time. If you've read any of his other novels, you know the standard format, but you also know that the storylines are unique in each series, and the characters top notch. Every time I read one of his books I can't wait for the next one. The Shooters is no different. ...

This is another outstanding Jack Reacher novel. One of my favorite characters and authors. I have read every one and would recommend it highly. Very interesting and well thought out.

Spencer Johnson
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1998
Flexibility is one key to life's success
As a Bear Stearn's employee the timing of my reading this simple yet profound book could not have been better. If you are not aware of current financial news, Bear Stearns, a private investment bank was recently purchased by JPMorgan Chase and at this time is going through a merger of both of their businesses. It's a time of uncertainty for many folks working at Bear as well as at Chase. In ...

The case IS closed!!
I've seen and heard all sorts of theories but without a DOUBT Patricia Cornwell has solved this case!! I couldn't put it down. I've passed the book on to others who are interested. ABSOLUTELY GREAT BOOK! The evidence found and the conclusions made are on the money! MUST READ if you have always found the Ripper case intriguing.

JD Rbb - Divided in Death
Robb does it again. Can't put the books in this series down. Just read her newest "Strangers in Death". Can't wait for the next. I read one book and got hooked. Not just Eve and Roarke but the whole gang. I went back and ordered the entire series and read from the beginning. It flows so you feel like you can "see" everything and puts you right there with them. Although each book can stand alone, ...

Review of Born in Death
As usual, J.D. Robb delivers.
As usual, it was very difficult to put this book down.
As usual, I can't wait until the next book comes out.
My only disappointment, was the number of typos that I found in this book. J.D. Robb's editor needs to do a better job proof-reading.

Someone's killing women...
...and it's up to Eve Dallas to find out why. This time, she's working with a psychic, and not so sure she's happy about it. But the women's visions are proving accurate. Will it be enough to catch the killer?
Another wonderful addition to the Eve and Roarke saga.

Second Sight (The Arcane Society, Book 1)48 reviews
Amanda Quick
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2006
good mystic victorian romance
This book was a good read.
Nothing stunning, nothing new, and, sadly, part of a series.
But a good read, none the less.
Our Heroine, Venetia, is a woman who has been orphaned and is responsible, with a maiden aunt, for raising younger siblings. She obtains gainful employment as a photographer. This is all back story - I've a feeling this was gone over somewhere else, and I've missed it.

As good a sequel as there ever was
You must read "Retribution" by the same author first!
Very thrilling and a great read! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this sequel after I finished Retribution and I was not disappointed! Here is the synopsis of the book taken directly from the author's website [...] so that I don't give away anything I shouldn't.
"It's been three years since a string of brutal serial murders thrust Miami ...

Sue Grafton

R is for ?
I like the writing of Sue Grafton. I don't mean to be chauvinistic, but she writes like a man. Women novelists generally do not portray sexual intimacy as men do. Grafton does! It is a reoccurring style that I have unexpectedly found in her other books that I have had an opportunity to read. These include A IS FOR ALIBI, N IS FOR NOOSE and S IS FOR SILENCE. So far, I've enjoyed all her ...

G P Putnam's Sons, 2000
READ THIS BOOK: It changed me. Beautiful writing.
I picked up this book in the juice store in San Jose on a trip. Someone I knew had given a moving speech on Lance, and I love inspiring stories. I have read a few. None, and I mean none so damn well written. The words, the descriptions, and the story, is so deep, and so well-written, that it was incredibly hard to put down. You start to get to know a real person, and all his defeats, his ...

A teacher's dead...
and it's hard to imagine anyone having enough of a beef with him to murder him. From all accounts he was simply an ordinary guy, going about with his ordinary, happy life. Eve Dallas is left to discover who's keeping secrets...and her discovery shocks even this street-hardened cop. A fantastic new chapter in the Eve Dallas mythology.

Flamingo Blood Rains Thin in Paradise
TROUBLE IN PARADISE, # 2 in Parker's Jesse Stone series, is a quietly seething thriller with explosives to boom. In this type of deep plot action, here's how one chapter should end and the next one begin:
Chapter ending:
>> When the police car was halfway across, the bridge began to ripple. The ripple turned into a heave. And, as the sound of the explosion came rolling into the real ...
