The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel71 reviews Stephen Hunter Simon & Schuster, 2007 really good I really liked it. It was my second Hunter book after POI. Another great American novel. Some of the other reviews talk about some parts being unbelievable; I thought that most of this was explained by the spiritual help his father was giving him from above. I am on to my next Hunter novel.             Sacred Stone (The Oregon Files)54 reviews Clive Cussler, Craig Dirgo Berkley Trade, 2004 Plenty of food onboard. I am reading the Oregon files out of order, making it all the more fun for me. Here are some quick observations: The best of the bunch, hands down, is "Plague Ship"; in that novel, Juan Cabrillo's prosthetic limb is mentioned more than once, and yet there's no mention of it in "Sacred Stone"; there ...             Bones to Ashes: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels)77 reviews Kathy Reichs Scribner, 2007 Reichs knows what she is doing + Bones to Ashes - good read! + A Nearly Perfect Story Line That's a Bit Too Coincidental I'm amazed how she can weave the plot in her books.

I was at the library looking for good reads and noticed "Promise Not To Tell" set apart from the shelved books. I thought, I'll try. Oh, what a marvelous book! I became so intrigued by Del, and the ...             Third Degree: A Novel94 reviews Greg Iles Scribner, 2007 Review of Audio Book + Another Iles Favorite + Fastest book I ever read + So, So Good             The Ghost War32 reviews Alex Berenson Putnam Adult, 2008 Fine work + Do You Need to Read The Faithful Spy First? I have to say that I am surprised at the comparatively tepid reviews that this book has received here. I purchased the audiobook as is my wont, to occupy my time on a roundtrip drive to the Nation's Capital. I had not heard of the author's first effort, so this was my introduction to CIA agent ...             The Tin Roof Blowdown: A Dave Robicheaux Novel (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries)125 reviews James Lee Burke Simon & Schuster, 2007 This Is My First JLB Novel... + Interesting mystery taking place during the most distressing disaster of this country's history. + One Word - Beautiful Although I've been an avid reader all my life, somehow I'd never heard of James Lee Burke before noticing "Tin Roof Blowdown" at the corner grocery market one night when desperate for reading material and there was nothing by familiar favorite authors in the bookstand. So I took a chance and by 10 ...             Tears of Autumn: A Paul Christopher Novel21 reviews Charles McCarry Overlook TP, 2007 Tears of Autumn + Blowback! This is an outstanding tale of significant believability. Even from the span of time from when it was written to today. How did McCarry slip under the radar?             Interred with Their Bones52 reviews Jennifer Lee Carrell Dutton Adult, 2007 A no holds 'Bard' thriller.... + Good mystery, good history! Jennifer Lee Carrell has done herself in injustice with delivering 'Interred With Their Bones' as her debut novel. A story rife with Shakespearean darkness and mystery, and built upon centuries old fact and legend; Ms. Carrell will find it difficult, I can well imagine, to surpass herself with a ...             Running Scared22 reviews Ken Douglas Bootleg Press, 2003 There is Nothing Like a Little Dose of Revenge + Two Brave Women are Running Scared + Two Women in Trouble and Running Scared + Running scared to stay alive... + on the edge             Sweet Revenge (Goldy Culinary Mystery, Book 14)53 reviews Diane Mott Davidson William Morrow, 2007 Sweet Revenge #14 + Great Cozy Mystery Book Now that I'm fully retired, I have decided to read more. My wife introduced me to Diane Mott Davidson's Culinary Detective, Goldy. I'm Hooked. In fact, Goldy should be a movie series. Hello - Hollywood & Hallmark.

Compelling characters in an unusual story. Far better than what passes for popular fiction on most of the best-seller list. Bizarre? That is probably a little too strong. Different? Definitely!
