A Field of Darkness 46 reviews Cornelia Read
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
A Different Sort of Mystery
+ Fast paced, funny and smart
I can't add a lot to the other positive comments here. I loved this book for a lot of reasons. I stayed up way too late reading it in two sittings. It's not a stereotypical mystery - it has a lot more going on in regard to character, and it doesn't get into all the technical science so many ...

The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel 76 reviews Stephen Hunter
Simon & Schuster, 2007
A worthy sequel
+ An entertaining book by Stephen Hunter
I enjoyed this latest Swagger novel. It was fun and credible, but not the sort of book that you would like to red again and again. Still, it was worth buying. No regrets.

The Bone Garden: A Novel 100 reviews Tess Gerritsen
Ballantine Books, 2007
Great Read!
+ Good read!!!
I really enjoyed this book! Rose was a very compelling character. She gives you a glimpse into the life of the poor during the 1800's and helps us see how hard it was and what a miracle it was that more didn't die. This book also gives us a good picture of what medicine was like 200 hundred years ...

To The Death 19 reviews Patrick Robinson
Vanguard Press, 2008
A good ending to a series.
+ While not a climax...
This book concludes a fairly long running series of books. I was somewhat disappointed that Mr. Robinson strayed from what he is great at: submarines. But that said this was a good book. The criticism about political commentary is overblown, there just is not that much in this book. The book ...

Take Me, Take Me with You: A Novel of Suspense 13 reviews Lauren Kelly
Harper Paperbacks, 2005
Compelling, thrilling and ultimately unsettling.
The pace at the start of the story gave me a rush of adrenline.
It was superbly crafted, moving in time and presenting the future before the present. The characters were seedy, and the decisions and choices of the protagonist made it hard to root for her. But at the end I accepted her choice ...
