The Lemur: A Novel 10 reviews Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Short Book, Great Mystery
The book cover caught my eye first: a cloud of smoke obscuring the face of a young man. Then, the author's name. 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 ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12) 278 reviews Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!
First of all let me clarify something.
There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book.
You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only:
Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.
Specially from the ones ...

Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole) 71 reviews Robert Crais
Simon & Schuster, 2008
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 ...
