Kathy Reichs

Reichs knows what she is doing

+ Bones to Ashes - good read!

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 ...

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 Novel111 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 Novel35 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 Girl58 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.

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 ...

Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler

Putnam Adult, 2006

My first cussler experience

+ 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 ...
