Fidelity 19 reviews Thomas Perry
Harcourt, 2008
A great read!
I have been a long time fan of Thomas Perry, and Fidelity continues in his unique style. He is a master of character, suspense and clever plot twists. Excellent story telling - I couldn't put it down.

WOW
+ Very good book! + wow
I may be young but let me tell you that this book was probably the best book I have ever read in my life. It is written SO well and I love the little pieces of information that show what leads up to Peter doing what he did. I cried and cried SO much when I read because this book is so emotional and ...

Creation in Death (In Death) 91 reviews J. D. Robb
Large Print Distribution, 2008
Well-done!!!
+ A gripping continuation of the series
I've been reading J.D. Robb for years, well, from the inception of the Eve Dallas series. I've always liked this series a great deal, although I'm not a big fan of "Science Fiction", per se. However, this series is set in the immediate future of the 2050's initially, so it's not so far-flung that ...

The Reapers: A Thriller 29 reviews John Connolly
Atria, 2008
Cold violence
This is an extremely violent book, peopled by characters who seem to have no sense of right or wrong and who are able to kill a designated person without the slightest qualm. A "reaper" is a killer who has been especially trained to kill other killers, under a contract from a crime boss. It took me ...

The Tin Roof Blowdown (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries) 136 reviews James Lee Burke
Pocket, 2008
The TinRoof Blowdown

Secrets: A Novel 34 reviews Jude Deveraux
Atria, 2008
Not much substance
I read Jude Deveraux for something to read not deep thoughts so this book was very similar to most of her books. The first part drags in spots and the ending is rushed & wrapped up with less explaination than I would like.

I Heard That Song Before: A Novel 102 reviews Mary Higgins Clark
Pocket, 2008
Another great book by Mary Higgins Clark
+ 3.5 Star Suspenseful Tale
This was a great book. Mary Higgins Clark did it again with this wonderfully written book. I love how the chapters are just the right length to peak your interest and not too long to you lose interest.
As the reader, Clark's excellent prose keeps you guessing until the very end.
This is one I ...
