Jonathan Kellerman

Ballantine Books, 2008

He's back in fine form

+ A worthwhile weekend read...
+ entertaining whodunit

Jonathan Kellerman's books have been up and down for me in the last few years. It seems that once Robin left, the storylines left with her. However, in Bones, Kellerman's newest book, I finally found the "old" Alex. Witty, genuine, interesting. The story of murder of prostitutes and of a music ...

An excellent addition to this series

+ First Opinion...

I have been a fan of Kathy Reichs and her Temperance Brennan novels since her first one, Deja Dead. Sometimes authors have a hard time keeping a series interesting after a number of books but so far I have enjoyed every one. This book is different in a number of ways from the previous ones and ...

Janet Evanovich

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Yet another great Plum book

+ Great Book
+ I love Stepanie Plum novels

Fearless Fourteen is every bit as funny as the last book. It's brilliant over the top fun and the love triangle with Morelli and Ranger is now nearing breaking point. When will Stephanie make up her mind for good? There's lots more fun in here for fans of the rest of the series and I'm now ...

is there no happiness in Scarpettta-land

I've been following the Scarpetta crowd for years and usually enjoy their ploits, antics, brilliance, and odd personalities. When this one came out, I didn't even wait for the paperback....I had to know what happens to these larger than life characters created by a great story teller. This is the ...

Brunonia Barry

William Morrow, 2008

Buy this book!

+ `There are mystics and there are mechanists and they see things with different eyes.'

Brunonia Barry's The Lace Reader is a novel that delves into so many realms, it is hard to know where to start. The first chapter introduces us to Towner Whitney, one of a long line of Whitney women who have been labeled "quirky" by the other inhabitants of Salem. The chapter opens: "My name is ...

Book of Lies????

+ This was a great read!
+ Book review

At first I was hesitant about the topic, even though it intrigued me. The idea of a link, in history (death of the dad of superman's creator and Cain and Able) sparked my curiosity. I loved the parallel that Brad used in his writing and even though this is my first novel, from Brad Meltzer, I found ...

Once more into the breach for Sheriff Brady

+ Damage Control
+ A Moving Read

I find myself looking for the characters and places as I travel Sheriff Brady's jurisdiction. It is impossible to read J.A.Jances books and not begin thinking of them as almost real. The problems and trials are those we all face or have faced- our good sheriff in book after book is very human in ...
