Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Women's Murder Club series is 7th Heaven!

+ serialized story
+ Enjoyed it, light reading.

What an excellent series! I was not a James Patterson reader until after I started watching the Women's Murder Club on ABC. Then I went out and bought all of the books in the series! Each one can stand on it's own but you really need to read them in order for the goings-on of the central ...

Clive Cussler, Craig Dirgo

Berkley Trade, 2004

Not up to par

I hated this book. I forced my way through it and want my time back. The book was boring, hard to follow, and over complicated. There were far too many characters and I had a hard time following the plot and remembering who was doing what. The cast of characters in the beginning (6 pages worth) ...

Very Enjoyable Read

+ Nice filler while waiting for the next Cussler adventure...
+ Off and Running

I have to start off by saying that the action series is not my normal genre. I usually stick to fantasy/sci-fi, with an occasional foray into action with murphy and sapir's "Destroyer" series. With that said, I really enjoyed this book. From start-to-finish I was able to envision the whole thing in ...

Great Thriller

+ Picky reader loves it.
+ read this book!!!!!

This was an EXCELLENT thriller! I haven't previously read anything by David Levien, but I'm going to check out and see if he has any other titles. I was a little leery of the story at first, since it deals with the disappearance of a child, but the characters are so real and engaging that I was ...

A delightful new voice

+ a cheeky, thrilling ride
+ Fascinating tale and depiction of two social classes

Couldn't put it down. And that's saying a lot, because lately I've found myself too distracted by other things to get into most of the books I've picked up. This is an author I'll eagerly read again.

I first read this in 1975. I started reading in the early evening, read it straight through to the end. Stunned by the breathtaking authenticity, I read it through again, immediately, entirely. When I looked up, the sun was shining through my window. I had been at it for over 16 hours. ...

The Debasement of Wartime France

+ Don't tell me, don't tell me
+ The accidental spy

One character in "The World at Night" sums it up the best: "One had a few friends, but mostly people were meant to be used, one way or another, and if you weren't born knowing that you had better learn it somewhere along the way." This sort of cynicism typifies the Paris of this novel, where ...

+ outstanding......george never disappoints!!!!
+ red

I was curious to read E. George's new book. I am a faithful follower of her series and I was so depressed when Helen died 2 books ago. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It seemed to be lighter than her other works which I welcomed. Lynley and Havers were great. I did figure out the murderer with ...
