A Different Sort of Mystery

I can't add a lot to the other positive comments here. I loved this book for a lot of reasons. I stayed up way too late reading it in two sittings. It's not a stereotypical mystery - it has a lot more going on in regard to character, and it doesn't get into all the technical science so many ...

Fine work

+ Do You Need to Read The Faithful Spy First?

I have to say that I am surprised at the comparatively tepid reviews that this book has received here. I purchased the audiobook as is my wont, to occupy my time on a roundtrip drive to the Nation's Capital. I had not heard of the author's first effort, so this was my introduction to CIA agent ...
  
  











  



  
Alibi: A Novel40 reviews

Picador, 2006

"Alibi" is morally uncomfortable

+ Alibi Review
+ Everyone is crooked

Alibi is wonderfully written (I really love Kanon's writing) and it is extremely uncomfortable reading, as the moral compass keeps shifting. I found it impossible to stop reading and was physically and emotionally exhausted at the end. I loved this book!

Nancy Pickard

Ballantine Books, 2007

Nancy at her best

+ What can I say? I liked it!

I've read all of Nancy Pickard's novels, and this is one of the most intriguing. The suspension of disbelief required is considerable, so the fact that she still carries off a real page-turner is all the more impressive.

Finally! 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. He's killed twelve women in a one month time period, and it seems that the only reason he's gone to ground is because ...

The Last Patriot

+ THORoughly Enjoyable!
+ Wow, a thrill ride from todays headlines

Another Brad Thor thriller that can't be put down once started. Much of it is/has happened; it's difficult to dicipher the fiction from nonfiction.

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 ...

Another Iris Johansen winner

+ excellent
+ Quicksand

I'm a big Iris Johansen fan and this book did not disappoint me. Read Pandora's Daughter first, if you haven't already read it. You will understand the character of Megan so much better if you do. I loved the ending of Quicksand! I can't wait for the next book!!
