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 ...

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 ...

If you love paranormal, you will love this book

I happened to stumble on this book. I have loved it from the first page. Rachel Morgan is an IS (think FBI) runner. She tracks down misbehaving paranormal creatures and hauls them in for punishment. Unfortunately she is not good at following the rules and putting up with the office politics. But, ...
  
  











  



  
The Reapers: A Thriller29 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 TinRoof Blowdown

+ Soaked in atmosphere and full of detailed description
+ "I wasn't sure New Orleans would survive."

Great story line and characters - James Lee Burke just gets better and better. His research is excellent and I should know as I live in SW LA.
  
  











  



  
Secrets: A Novel34 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.

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 ...
