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.

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 ...

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 ...

Christopher Nicole

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 ...

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"

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.
