TailSpin (FBI Thriller, No. 12)26 reviews Catherine Coulter Putnam Adult, 2008 FBI ROMANCE THRILLER + Much better than the last book. Predictable story line and part of the classic FBI series - I enjoyed very much as a summer read.             Change of Heart: A Novel171 reviews Jodi Picoult Atria, 2008 more of a homage than a copy + A page turner. When I read this book I did not get the sense that Picoult was copying Stephen King, but rather taking the issues raised in The Green Mile and giving them a more contemporary twist. At one point she even refers to the book when someone in the prison calls Shay "Green Mile". Just because a story ...             Dearly Devoted Dexter107 reviews Jeff Lindsay Vintage, 2006 Just as dark and fun as the first + delicious dexter + I Luv Dexter! This book continued the great quality that Lindsay started with in the first book and is of equal, if not greater, quality. It's also just as gripping as the first book. I read it 2 days, and it only took that long because I made myself take breaks so that it wouldn't be over too soon! The ...             The Memory Keeper's Daughter849 reviews Kim Edwards Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 A book written by a woman to women (and maybe guys too) It was based on a similar concept of "Namesake", another contemporary book written by a woman, ie, that men has something terrible to hide from their spouses. :-) For guys it may be hard to relate to the characters, but even so I recommend it. Mainly because the book is fairly well written. I ...             Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole)53 reviews Robert Crais Simon & Schuster, 2008 Elvis Chases the Darkness Light? Yes. Quick Read? Yes. Enjoyable? Thoroughly. I found the latest Elvis Cole a satisfying entry in the series. Maybe not so many Elvis wisecracks, but you do have Carol Starkey getting off some dandies. Crais is so comfortable by now with Elvis & Joe & Carol and company that this is ...             Double Cross (Alex Cross)165 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown and Company, 2007 Alex Cross at his best! + I love Alex Cross + A gripper from the get-go! Alex Cross, that lovable sleuth does it again. In this exiting edition, Alex has a new romance, but old enemies threaten to take her away. With many familiar characters and danger on every page, this is one of my favorite Cross books yet! A must read. Highly recommended. S.L. Chessor, author of ...             After Dark (Vintage International)76 reviews Haruki Murakami Vintage, 2008 After Dark + Intriguing, but with too many loose ends. + The plot was a little boring After Dark by Haruki Murakami: In Haruki Murakami's latest novel, After Dark, he tells a unique and compelling story of what goes on after midnight on the streets of Tokyo. It is a very different world from that of the daytime, with very different people. Murakami makes this clear by revealing that ...             Hold Tight120 reviews Harlan Coben Dutton Adult, 2008 A thriller + Plenty of action, with intersecting plots that don't come together until the end... + Wow wow triple wow! + Thought provoking thriller + Great Book- Impossible to Put Down             Stone Cold133 reviews David Baldacci Grand Central Publishing, 2007 Stone Cold is Red Hot + A Great Ride with The Camel Club + Excellent Page Turner + He knows how to write             Bangkok Haunts43 reviews John Burdett Knopf, 2007 Well written + Loved It, But I Don't Know Why + WHO Would Enjoy Reading a John Burdett Book (including Bangkok Haunts) or Receiving One As a Gift? Excellent continuation of the Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep story; this time investigating a terrifiying snuff movie in which a former lover is murdered. Good storytelling, keeps you interested. Well worth buying. Bangkok Tattoo Bangkok 8             7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)109 reviews James Patterson, Maxine Paetro Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th + I Like it! Good read for series junkies! + Women's Murder Cllub I have become a huge Patterson after reading the 5th Horseman, lapsed on the 6th Target and found my way back for 7th Heaven. I just love the play on numbers. This is the 7th novel in his Women's Murder Club series and the book starts off in as far a place from heaven as possible with victims found ...             Step on a Crack173 reviews James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge Little, Brown and Company, 2007 Outstanding Read - Great New Main Character + The Kids Make the Hero Real (Spoilers) + review of the audio version I never thought I would enjoy a character as much as Alex Cross, but Michael Bennett was great. Imagine being a police detective with 10 adopted kids. The twists in this book were great. I can't wait for the next book! Great job, Mr Patterson. S.L. Chessor author of Poodlums, Boogeymen and Booglers ...             Darkly Dreaming Dexter229 reviews Jeff Lindsay Vintage, 2006 Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay + Audio 8cds Not for the faint hearted!!!!!!! Darkly Dreaming Dexter This book was a great read. Even if you watched the show first. However the Dexter in the show is different than the one in the book. This book neatly wraps up the charcter that is Dexter and does so quickly as well as humorously. I love the wit and sarcasm, i think it tops ...             Wash This Blood Clean from My Hand (Chief Inspector Adamsberg Mysteries)7 reviews Fred Vargas Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Her Best Yet + Outstanding example of crime fiction + A clever, thought-provoking read + great book             Beverly Hills Dead34 reviews Stuart Woods Putnam Adult, 2008 Excellent sequel + WHO Would Like Beverley Hills Dead and Why? For Some Folks, It Would Be a Great Gift! Readers will be well advised to read The The Prince of Beverly Hills first, because this is Stuart Woods' much awaited sequel. Both stories are set in Hollywood and New York City in the 1940s, and feature characters in the movie industry. WWII had ended and the Cold War was beginning. ...             Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel39 reviews James Lee Burke Simon & Schuster, 2008 Extraordinary novel + Return to Big Sky + Another fine yarn...complex good guys, bad guys of all stripes! + Chapter 17 in the Life of Dave Robicheaux + As improbable as ever, but.....             Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher)171 reviews Lee Child Delacorte Press, 2007 Bad Luck & Trouble by Lee Child + Breathtaking + Lots of twist and turns + Chicks Like Action Books Too + Good As Usual!             Book of the Dead (Kay Scarpetta, No. 15)614 reviews Patricia Cornwell Putnam Adult, 2007 SADLY DISAPPOINTED I JUST FINISHED "BOOK OF THE DEAD" AND WAS SADLY DISAPPOINTED. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I NEED TO RE-READ IT TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE TWISTS AND TURNS AND CHARACTERS IN THIS MIS-ADVENTURE. I AM FAIRLY NEW TO READING PATRICIA CORNWELL BOOKS AND HAVE NOT READ ALL OF THEM BUT I AM GOING TO GO BACK TO THE ...             Sail109 reviews James Patterson, Howard Roughan Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Sail is one of James Pattersons GREATS! + Cliffhangers and surprise twists! + Gift for family member in another state I have read all of James Pattersons books, this was one of his best. I too read this book in less the 24 hours; I could not put it down! It is a great story, with great characters, filled with lots of suspense! Would love a follow up book to this, where are the Dunnes now???????????             The Overlook (Harry Bosch)184 reviews Michael Connelly Little, Brown and Company, 2007 A great addition to the "Harry Bosch" series! + Again, Michael Connelly at his best... in stretching for home base... I became a fan of the "Harry Bosch" novels by Michael Connelly late in life. I think it was the movie, Blood Work, starring Clint Eastwood and based on one of Connelly's other books, that caused me to buy The Narrows when it came out in paperback. I read that and found myself immediately hooked ...
