Nevada Barr's "Winter Study"

+ Following Anna

Anna Pigeon has a Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)rather tumultous series of experiences in this book - more than "usual" but held interest and was a 'good read' --

Book Purchase

I received my book as promised, in excellent shape, got it very quickly. In fact, I got my copy before the library had their new copy. Amazon and associates have treated me with each order, very quick, very well and I love them!

Benjamin Black

Picador, 2008

By now most avid fiction readers are aware that Benjamin Black is the pseudonym for John Banville, a respected and prize-winning author. I enjoyed Christine Falls, so some weeks ...

Specially from the ones ...

Great book, great series overall

+ Another great book

I had never read any books by Robert Crais prior to 2 months ago when I picked up Chasing Darkness. I had seen the name Elvis Cole here and there and thought any book with a PI named Elvis was probably going to be a joke, literally and figuratively. I am glad I overcame my own foolish ...
