Daddy's Girl 62 reviews Lisa Scottoline
HarperCollins, 2007
Not the typical Scottline book
+ Don't give up on this one... it DOES get better! + Coming out of your shell - explosively!
Not the typical Scottline. The herion, although strong, seems conflicted. This does not take away from the plot, which in Scottline fashion has many twists and turns. Can't figure out the reason for the title. Who picked it out? Anyway it's still worth reading.

HarperCollins, 2006
Love that Sujata Massey!

A reader can't go wrong with any of the books in the Rei Shimura series. Massey creates a fascinating world of modern Japan as experienced by her heroine Rei Shimura. Rei has the perfect blend of coming from a Californian backround and being of Japanese-American parentage. It makes it easy for the ...

Ricochet: A Novel 64 reviews Sandra Brown
Simon & Schuster, 2006
Murder Mystery Thriller
+ One of her better books
Since this was an 11 cd set, I was a little afraid that I might become bored before I reached the end. However, nothing could have been further from the truth. Each cd drew me deeper into the plot. I found it addictive and hard to even take a break. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the ...

Stormy Weather 80 reviews Carl Hiaasen
Grand Central Publishing, 1996
Skink for President!
+ Wacky and Captive + Tops among over the top Hiassen satires
[...]
When I first read this book, it was back when it had the flamingo on the cover, so it has been awhile. But my opinion about the book has not changed.
Having gone through Hurricane Andrew in Homestead, this book touched more than a nerve. Only those that have dealt with tragedy like ...

Delightful
+ Very good stuff. + Brilliance
Having seen the film first, my expectations of this piece were somewhat established. I felt as if I knew what to expect.
Much to my surprise, My attention was demanded each scene, and I found it impossible to tear myself away from the beautiful recollections of the author.
Taken from a personal ...

Severn House Publishers, 2007
Don't Fear a Thing, This Sensational Series Keeps Getting Better!
Jessica Jones is back and her latest adventure reaches new heights. Be warned though A Fearful Thing gives away key plots of previous books in the series especially The Voyage and The Pursuit where key parts of the plot are referred to on numerous occasions. Read this series in order if you can ...

+ My first DeMille read...excellent
This was truly spell-binding. One of his best. I think I could read him everyday and never get the least bit bored. His character, John Corey is my pick for the "World's Sexiest Man"

High Profile (Jesse Stone) 75 reviews Robert B. Parker

Typical Jesse Stone
If you like Jesse Stone, you'll like this book. I like including Sunny Randall and mixing her with Jen. The story line doesn't tax you brain, but it is a quick enjoyable read.
