Phantom Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries)88 reviews John Sandford Putnam Adult, 2008 The Weirdest Davenport Novel Yet + Excellent condition + Better than the last, Lucas a stud John Sandford does a better job of hooking me on his stories than anyone else writing today. I have read all the books written under the Sandford name and thought they all provided excellent entertainment except for the one clunker, "Dead Watch." The Lucas Davenport novel, "Phantom Prey," is ...             7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)109 reviews James Patterson, Maxine Paetro Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th + I Like it! Good read for series junkies! + Women's Murder Cllub I have become a huge Patterson after reading the 5th Horseman, lapsed on the 6th Target and found my way back for 7th Heaven. I just love the play on numbers. This is the 7th novel in his Women's Murder Club series and the book starts off in as far a place from heaven as possible with victims found ...             The Appeal422 reviews John Grisham Doubleday, 2008 Money and Politics: The Ultimate Leverage When a massive chemicals corporation loses a $41 million lawsuit in rural Mississippi, its top leadership vows to appeal to the state's supreme court.

I have always enjoyed James Patterson and, whomever he is writing with at the time. The character of Nora Sinclair was frightening but human, never enough of a monster to repel the reader, but, just enough of a monster to chill. While, our hero John O'Hara leaves you breathless, he also leaves much ...             Blood Work186 reviews Michael Connelly Grand Central Publishing, 2002 Not Random + Mystery novel with an interesting twist + Good suspense, a little far fetched The hero in Michael Connelly's Blood Work is ex-FBI agent Terrell (Terry) McCaleb, who's recuperating from a heart transplant when Graciella Rivers steps onto his houseboat asking him to come out of retirement and find her sister's killer. Why should he? The answer is simple, Gloria River's was ...             Stalin's Ghost: An Arkady Renko Novel93 reviews Martin Cruz Smith Pocket, 2008 Remarkably good at details of Russian life + Arkady Is Back! + Arkady Fan + Modern Russia v.

Hooper is back with another paranormal thriller featuring Bishop and the Special Crimes Unit from the FBI. There is a serial killer operating in Boston without remorse.

Usually I'm skeptical of professional reviews, but I'm happy to say that this one was spot on as far as Death's Little Helpers, by Peter Spiegelman, is concerned. The story and ...             Compulsion: An Alex Delaware Novel (Alex Delaware)62 reviews Jonathan Kellerman Ballantine Books, 2008 Not his best, and not his worst.... I've read all the Alex Delaware books, and I would place this one somewhere in the middle as far as ratings go. Neither Alex nor Milo seemed as involved or intense about the case this time. Alex was reallly coasting with his psych analyses. And Robin, who used to have all kinds of issues with ...             Wash This Blood Clean from My Hand (Chief Inspector Adamsberg Mysteries)7 reviews Fred Vargas Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Her Best Yet + Outstanding example of crime fiction + A clever, thought-provoking read + great book             The Return of the Dancing Master20 reviews Henning Mankell Vintage, 2005 Neo-nazism in Sweden + The Dance Goes On and On + Wallender isn't the only oddball cop in Sweden! + Not my type of dance             The Overlook (Harry Bosch)184 reviews Michael Connelly Little, Brown and Company, 2007 A great addition to the "Harry Bosch" series! + Again, Michael Connelly at his best... in stretching for home base... I became a fan of the "Harry Bosch" novels by Michael Connelly late in life. I think it was the movie, Blood Work, starring Clint Eastwood and based on one of Connelly's other books, that caused me to buy The Narrows when it came out in paperback. I read that and found myself immediately hooked ...             The Runaway Jury435 reviews John Grisham Delta, 2006 don't runaway from this one + How much will you pay for a verdict? + success + My two cents.             Hell's Bay (Thorn Mysteries)18 reviews James W. Hall St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008 A tightly wound thriller - even if the plot is familiar + Read it - if you dare! + One of the Best + Fast action, dark Florida             Tree of Smoke: A Novel78 reviews Denis Johnson Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007 Haunting, moving, and evocative + What's Your Poison? + Denis Johnson's latest book was worth the long wait. + A monumental book. . .             Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel39 reviews James Lee Burke Simon & Schuster, 2008 Extraordinary novel + Return to Big Sky + Another fine yarn...complex good guys, bad guys of all stripes! + Chapter 17 in the Life of Dave Robicheaux + As improbable as ever, but.....             The Race39 reviews Richard North Patterson Henry Holt and Co., 2007 Solid Political Thriller With Lopsided Viewpoint and Occasional Drags + The Race Richard North Patterson is, when he ventures into socio-political themes, a didactic dogmatist of the first rank. He sees his genre novels as having a purpose beyond entertainment and moving into persuasion. That's a bit of a failing but one I can forgive for the simple reason that the man is just ...             The Front208 reviews Patricia Cornwell Putnam Adult, 2008 Very Satisfied I have not had a chance to read my new books, but they arrived in excellent condition as always.
