The Art of Detection (Kate Martinelli Mysteries) 38 reviews Laurie R. King
Bantam, 2006
What a relief!
+ Kate Martinelli meets Sherlock Holmes + Quite possibly King's best book
I really love both the Martinelli and Russell/Homes series, but I found the last Martinelli outing disappointing. It was a great pleasure to see Kate back in grand form, with the added deliciousness of the Russell/Holmes tie-in. I love watching Kate deal with the peculiarities of reenactors and ...

The Last Templar 270 reviews Raymond Khoury
Dutton Adult, 2006
Waaaiiiit a Minute People....!!!!!!
Sheesh!!!! What did you expect??? This is a summer beach read potboiler---and for that purpose it's perfect! This is not high literature. If you enjoyed Dan Brown, you'll enjoy this. If you are into Templars and the Gnostic Gospels, you'll enjoy it even more. Sure, it has the typical cardboard ...

As long as you don't go into reading BAD TWIN thinking you're going to solve the mysteries of the hit television show Lost, then you should be okay. BAD TWIN, on its own, is an intriguing mystery featuring twin brothers--one a bigwig in the family business, the other a ne're-do-well who has gone ...

Sea Change (Jesse Stone Novels) 64 reviews Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2006
Dump The Ex-Wife
+ A quick and easy read
Jesse Stone is a strong character. After seeing the TV movies with Tom Selleck, I picture him as I read each book. Tom Selleck is also a strong character, so......why does the author keep up this relationship with the ex-wife. To me it protrays a very weak person. I personally am getting tired ...

The Secret Supper 69 reviews Javier Sierra
Atria, 2006
Symbology and Secrets Galore
+ It's no secret, this is a very enjoyable read
The intrigue of The Secret Supper surpasses many books of its type, including the international best-seller The DaVinci Code. The already well-known symbology in art during the Renaissance is the central theme, here. Secret codes fill in much of the rest of the action. Even though the plot's quest ...

Dan Brown hit a homerun here. This book has an awesome story line and really keeps you wanting more. The action is fast yet easy to keep up with. Brown has a great way of making you feel like you know what's going on in the story, but still surprises you in the end. Read the book first, saw the ...

The Bookwoman's Last Fling: A Cliff Janeway Novel 45 reviews John Dunning
Scribner, 2006
A favorite series
+ A BIBLOPHILE IN EQUESTRIAN TERRITORY
I love the Bookman series by John Dunning. This one had a lot about horse racing. Not a field of interest of mine but that said, I still look forward to the next Bookman. Until I read the book I was worried that this was the last in the series based on the title.
