Christine Falls: A Novel 63 reviews Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
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.

The Ghost War 31 reviews Alex Berenson
Putnam Adult, 2008
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 ...

The Silver Swan: A Novel 23 reviews 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 ...

Washington Square Press, 2001
Talk about a tear-jerker
+ Love and betrayal... + 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.

Lady Killer 31 reviews Lisa Scottoline

A book by Lisa Scottoline is worth waiting for, and this is no exception.

Candy Cane Murder 24 reviews Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, ...
Kensington, 2007
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 ...

Interred with Their Bones 48 reviews 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 ...

Vintage, 2006

+ 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) ...
