The Hunters (A Presidential Agent Novel) 64 reviews W.E.B. Griffin
Putnam Adult, 2007
Great dialogue, great details
+ Realism? + Great book!!
The third book in the Presidential Agent series continues right where The Hostage left off with our hero Charley Castillo trying to unravel a mystery that could have far-reaching consquences. Griffin's level of detail and sheer knowledge of how the various levels of government and military operate ...

The Tin Roof Blowdown: A Dave Robicheaux Novel (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries) 125 reviews James Lee Burke
Simon & Schuster, 2007
This Is My First JLB Novel...
+ Interesting mystery taking place during the most distressing disaster of this country's history. + One Word - Beautiful
Although I've been an avid reader all my life, somehow I'd never heard of James Lee Burke before noticing "Tin Roof Blowdown" at the corner grocery market one night when desperate for reading material and there was nothing by familiar favorite authors in the bookstand. So I took a chance and by 10 ...

Echo Burning (Jack Reacher) 100 reviews Lee Child
Berkley Trade, 2005
Child at his best
+ one of the best Reacher novels, intense climax + Not the best Reacher novel, but Reacher consistently entertains.
This one starts slowly, leading up to a firecracker of an ending, typical of Lee Child novels. Jack Reacher, the ex army police officer turned freelance lawman who never hesitates to stick his nose into private business, takes his lively act to Texas, embroiling himself in what starts as a messy ...

The Alexandria Link: A Novel 111 reviews Steve Berry
Ballantine Books, 2007
Entertaining, but unoriginal
A well written novel that does well by drawing the reader into the story. But the premise is week and poorly researched. The author's understanding of Bibilical History and classical Hebrew are limited at best, as is his knowledge of the literarly devices commonly used in Classical Hebrew.

Past Perfect: A Novel 35 reviews Susan Isaacs
Scribner, 2007
easy read
This book is witty and doesn't take itself too seriously, however the story is a bit anticlimactic. Whereas Jodi Picoult books are over-the-top sappy and you have to gag your whole way through--but you do because the premise is entirely riveting and the ending so clever, this book is fun to read ...

Daddy's Girl 58 reviews Lisa Scottoline
HarperCollins, 2007
Not the typical Scottline book
+ A must read for all women + Daddy's Firl
Not the typical Scottline. The herion, although strong, seems conflicted. This does not take away from the plot, which in Scottline fashion has many twists and turns. Can't figure out the reason for the title. Who picked it out? Anyway it's still worth reading.

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 ...

Treasure of Khan (Dirk Pitt) 84 reviews Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2006

+ Typical Cussler novel - exciting, yet "far out" on reality. + Entertaining Summer Read
This novel was my first Cussler experience. I picked it up in the airport on a business trip and devoured it. It prompted me to pick up his entire Dirk Pitt series. His books are exciting and interesting, and I recommend them to anyone who enjoys a thriller or mystery novel. After reading the ...
