Enjoyed Audio Book

+ great writtin depressing book

Christine Falls was a really enjoyable book to listen to on two accounts--first the author has a great writing style--the book held your attention, made you wonder what was going to happen next and had enough surprises to make you want to drive around the block so the experience wouldn't end. ...

Fine work

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 ...

Benjamin Black

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

The Dubliner Victims

In a sequel to his first crime novel, the 2008 Edgar-nominated Christine Falls, Benjamin Black (nom de plume of John Banville) creates a complicated tale, filled with unnecessary characters and obfuscations clouding the mystery. It brings back Quirke, the Dublin pathologist with an "incurable ...

+ Good, quick, read!

My husband got me this book for my birthday last year. I loved it!! It's one of the few books I actually cried while reading. I passed it onto a few other people who also loved the book. If you like Piccoult, give it a try.

Lady Killer

+ Mary Is Back!!!

A book by Lisa Scottoline is worth waiting for, and this is no exception. Rosato & Associates are a great bunch of ladies and are so real that you feel you know them. Mystery, Murder and a Love Story too, are all in "Lady Killer and who could ask for more. If you enjoy any, or all of the above ...

Short and Sweet

+ Candy Canes, Warm and Comfortable
+ Not as good as her other books, but still a quick, light read

I am not the biggest fan of short stories. I want more content to sink my teeth into. However, this book was the exception. I loved it! Hannah was in her usual keen sleuthing mode. I liked how the second short story referred back to Joanne's story and recipes. I am especially thrilled to be ...

Jennifer Lee Carrell

Dutton Adult, 2007

Good mystery, good history!

+ Excellent

It adds a great deal to the feel of a book about historical events if the author is not only a good writer, but has a wide range of knowledge in the era written about. Everyone knows something about Shakespeare, but Carrell is also a good teacher and leads the reader through an experience that ...

+ The Show is Better

If you are looking to read this book because you are hooked on the tv show, then you may be surprised. The book Dexter is a bit more cold and crazy, though still funny at times. What surprised me most is that the tv show was actually better than the book. I can't remember the last time (if ever) ...
