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, 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 ...

Bones: An Alex Delaware Novel (Alex Delaware)
Jonathan Kellerman

Ballantine Books, 2008

When it comes to writing deftly layered, tightly coiled novels of suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman reigns supreme as “master of the psychological thriller” (People). Now, Kellerman has worked his magic again in this chilling new masterpiece. The anonymous caller has an ominous tone and an unnerving message about something “real dead . . . buried ...

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.

Shoot Him If He Runs

As always pure Stuart Woods and Stone Barrington. Actually as you get in to the book the title makes perfect sense. With a villian like this what else could you do but SHOOT HIM!

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 ...

another smash hit

+ Tail Spin

Catherine Coulter's FBI series never disappoints me. Once again she has hit the heart of her writing talents with suspense, twists and a touch of romance. What I really like most is that she focuses on her characters and develops them well, so that when you are finished reading this book you are ...

Plain Truth

+ 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.

Jodi Picoult

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 ...
