Three Rivers Press, 2006

A stellar first novel!

+ Couldn't put this one down.
+ wonderful writing

I had not heard of Lisa Unger until I noticed her newly released paperback version of "Beautiful Lies". I read the back cover and was intrigued. I ordered the book and found that I had a hard time putting it down. The way Lisa Unger writes is very refreshing. The story is a conversation ...

Jodi Picoult Does It Again

+ A Touch of Witchery

Jodi Picoult is one of my new favorite authors. She certainly knows how to write a page-turner and how to straddle the line between "serious" and popular fiction. So far I have read Plain Truth, Harvesting the Heart, My Sister's Keeper, and this novel, Salem Falls. My favorite is a toss up between ...

Take Me, Take Me with You: A Novel of Suspense13 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 ...

Compulsion

+ An Old Friend. . .
+ fan of this author

Book is well written and intriguing. I love that you don't always know what the next turn is going to be but that following it is relatively simple. The people are well described, even though I have read all the Alex Delaware books, I don't think you need that to get a feel for the characters.

If You Spin a Web, You Just Might Catch Yourself

+ Wow!
+ Charley the Web master rocks

This book caught my attention due to the name - who can't help but think of the old classic Charlotte's Web even though they are not related in any way or not of the same type of style. Charly's Web is about a Florida columnist and single mom at thirty, who has been battling emotional scars due to ...

Walter Mosley

Back Bay Books, 2005

A quick, suspenseful, mind-provoking read

+ Mosely sets up shop inside the reader's head.. and then tweaks it.
+ Fun and suspenseful

I dare you to put this book down before finishing it! Compelling characters in an unusual story. Far better than what passes for popular fiction on most of the best-seller list. Bizarre? That is probably a little too strong. Different? Definitely! Some have compared to The Stranger by Camus, but ...
