Sea Change (Jesse Stone Novels) 65 reviews Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2006
Another fun read by Parker
+ Dump The Ex-Wife + A quick and easy read
Just pick the book up and have fun. It has no philosophical message, although it does deal with a rather vile subject. I really do believe that Parker writes these Jesse Stone novels with Tom Selleck in mind, because you can literally hear Selleck deliver the lines, verbatum from the book. Love ...

The Bookwoman's Last Fling: A Cliff Janeway Novel 46 reviews John Dunning
Scribner, 2006
A favorite series
+ A BIBLOPHILE IN EQUESTRIAN TERRITORY
I love the Bookman series by John Dunning. This one had a lot about horse racing. Not a field of interest of mine but that said, I still look forward to the next Bookman. Until I read the book I was worried that this was the last in the series based on the title.

The Secret Supper 69 reviews Javier Sierra
Atria, 2006
Symbology and Secrets Galore
+ It's no secret, this is a very enjoyable read
The intrigue of The Secret Supper surpasses many books of its type, including the international best-seller The DaVinci Code. The already well-known symbology in art during the Renaissance is the central theme, here. Secret codes fill in much of the rest of the action. Even though the plot's quest ...

Gone (Alex Delaware Novels) 72 reviews Jonathan Kellerman
Ballantine Books, 2006
Engaging Performance on Books on CD
+ Enjoyed It...
I gave up on J. Kellerman some years ago and only picked this up on CD at the library when I failed to put something of more interest on my reserve list in time. Far from it being a fill-in, I'm loving the book. The reader is a wonderful performer. Like Jim Dale, he gives each character a different ...

First, let me just tell you my impressions of the book. I found it riveting to read. It is definitely a page-turner which keeps you hooked until the very end. The ...

The 5th Horseman (Women's Murder Club) 193 reviews James Patterson, Maxine Paetro
Little, Brown and Company, 2006
The 5th Horseman
+ 5th Horseman + 5th horsemen review
The 5th Horseman, like the other books in James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series, is an exciting and very well written novel. It keeps your interest constantly and is a hard one, once again, to put down. I recommend this entire series if you like a fast paced exciting read.
