Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels) 248 reviews Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Good, but not his best.
Well worth the read, but then I'm a die hard Child\Reacher fan. Kept my interest and had somw good twists and turns, but left me wanting just a bit more.

The Front 210 reviews Patricia Cornwell
Putnam Adult, 2008
The Front, Patricia Cornwall
This book is an example of the deteriorating standards of one of the finest thriller writers. The early Scarpeta books were superb but the last four or five titles have been dull, with weak plots. The main characters too have lost their spark and authenticity. The Front is not Scarpeta, but it ...

T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) 191 reviews Sue Grafton
Putnam Adult, 2007
Grafton Is Back!
+ " T " IS FOR THOUGHT PROVOKING + A Very Good Mystery
I loved this newest tale in the Kinsey Millhone series. Like a lot of readers, I had begun to think Sue Grafton had run her course and couldn't come up with anything exciting and new. Trespass was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I sincerely hope the rest of the alphabet keeps pace.

Devil Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels) 15 reviews Kathy Reichs
Scribner, 2008
Not the best
I found the book readable but put downable. Reichs forgot to develop her characters so I felt no real connection with them. At times the characteriztions were not consistent. I also dislike when authors use their work of fiction as a platform for their political agenda, especially when its as ...

+ Loved it + Pulled from the headlines...
This is the first book I read of Jodi's. I loved it it was a page turner from the start. I liked the reserch she did with the amish religion and community. she really makes you think and her books are real life reading. I can't wait to read another.

Atria, 2008
Oh my...
+ Amazing Book + Salvation or Revenge, that is the Question
Sometimes Jodi Picoult hits a homer, and other times just a single or double. Change of Heart is a grand slam, built around the impact of a death row inmate upon the lives of three unrelated people who are drawn into his story by the circumstances of their own lives. Shay Bourne has exhausted his ...
