Nightmare in Napa: The Wine Country Murders (48 Hours Mystery)21 reviews
Paul LaRosa

Pocket Star, 2007

The story is a real page turner.

+ Nightmare in Napa
+ A Brutal Murder and The Lives It Affected

This book immediately drew me in with its gripping and sad storyline. LaRosa makes you feel like you know these characters personally by the end of the story. Adriana and Leslie were so much more than the media made them out to be. Many crime books tend to tell one side of the story, where as ...

The Accidental Time Machine76 reviews
Joe Haldeman

Ace, 2008

Interest read with weak ending

This is a fine piece of fiction work on the topic of time travel, it touches all the interesting aspects involved, even though the actual travelling is mostly forward. The author used the forwarding time travel to trace the evolution steps of human society, some of them are interesting. However ...

Ann Rule

Pocket Star, 2005

Great Book Rule is one of a kind!

+ Exhaustive

I am not one to do many reviews. I have been wanting to read this book for a long time. I got my kindle and now have read this book and it is fantastic. It is a book that you just want to keep reading. We know what has happened but Ms. Rule simply gives it to us in detail I never dreamed about. ...
  
  











  



  
The Present : The Secret to Enjoying Your Work And Life, Now!46 reviews
Spencer Johnson

Doubleday, 2003

Sometimes the solution to problems is simple, learn from the past, prepare for the future but live in the present

+ An easy read with a powerful message
+ A Welcome Gift

The author of "Who Moved My Cheese" has hit another annoying nail of life on the head with this book. The present is not a gift that you unwrap; it is about learning from the past and preparing for the future by living and managing the present. Like so many stories of learning, the context is a ...

Earth Abides265 reviews
George R. Stewart

Del Rey, 2006

Simple, quiet book but you'll never forget it

+ Thought Provoking and Relevant
+ fascinating and memorable read

I did a comparison of this book with Childhood's End for A-level English. Two more different sci-fi books would be difficult to come by and that was the point. Earth Abides is a quiet story, full of the thoughts of Ish and the story of the community he helps found after a plague wipes out most of ...

Perfectly Executed (48 Hours Mystery)15 reviews
Peter Van Sant, Jenna Jackson

Pocket Star, 2007

A great book for fans of the tv show

+ True Life is Stranger Than Fiction

If you enjoy the 48 Hours Mystery television show, you will not be disappointed by Perfectly Executed. I had never seen the episode that dealt with this case, so for me it had an extra level of interest. It is a very "fast read", and the way that it was written certainly encourages that. In ...

Michael Connelly

Grand Central Publishing, 2006

Okay, so I'm late...

+ Some pacing issues aside, a great read
+ Harry Bosch Goes After The Poet

Yes, I do realize this book was published a few years ago, but I just finished reading it. I'm still not fond of first person, but when it comes to Connelly, I'll make an exception. This book was a wonderful addition to the Harry Bosch novels and a wonderful sequel to The Poet. Now all I ...

Pete Earley

Bantam, 2001

How come noone recommended me this book !!??

+ The Best book on the History of Vegas

....surprise ! I could only find the paperback edition (while stealing a deal !). It is the best book (of too many written) about what's really happening behind-the-scenes in the casino life -- L.V. style. Not only that I strongly recommend it to those who go and play, and waste, while "dreaming" ...

James Ellroy

Grand Central Publishing, 1998

Highly impressive

+ Complex & Grim - but worth persevering
+ Good read, a nice lead-in to "LA Confidential"

Well, I'll keep it pragmatic. So let me put it this way: If you know who James Ellroy is and enjoy his writing, go ahead and buy this book. You know it's one of Ellroy's greatest so go right ahead and purchase it. For the person who is not fimiliar with Ellroy's writing: If you are a remote fan of ...
