The Butcher's Boy 28 reviews Thomas Perry
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003
One of my all time favorite books
+ "Everything is plausible if you haven't got the answer." + The Butcher's Boy + Exceptional Debut Novel + Perry's first, but one of many entertaining reads by him

Dead Paradise (Stone Barrington Novels) 15 reviews Stuart Woods
NAL Trade, 2006
Slick packaging
Be careful when buying this book. It is really a repackaging of two of his earlier best sellers in one cover. The title is so similar that it appears to be a new offering but it is really LA Dead and Cold Paradise in one cover. I was fooled. I'm not very happy by the slick packaging and ...

Deception Point 181 reviews Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
Exciting thriller
+ Another pageturner
Very exciting book, mostly read it because it was dan brown and I was interested to see what kind of book this was considering it wasn't related to religion like his other more famous books. Like his other books if you take it very seriously you'll probably have some problems with it, but if your ...

Digital Fortress: A Thriller 902 reviews Dan Brown
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004
Very good but not his best.
I liked this book very much. He's done better work but I still thoroughly enjoyed this. In my opinion if you like Dan Brown's writing you will enjoy this book.

The Devil's Code (Kidd) 73 reviews John Sandford
Berkley, 2001
I don't usually like books, but
+ Kidd novel is a fun adventure + The Devil's Code
It started when I was housitting at my buddy's condo and the power went out during the superbowl. WTF? I had nothing to do and all I could find was one flashlight. On his coffee table I saw a copy of Devil's Code and once I picked it up I could not put it down. This book is far from what you ...

LA Dead
+ Arrington Barrington + A good read...
After reading the newest STONE BARRINGTON series book I have gone back to the beginning to see how it all began. Love reading about Stone's adventures. They all have been good.

The Fool's Run (Kidd) 27 reviews John Sandford
Berkley, 1996
a great beginning to the Kidd series
+ KIDD BOOKS
I finally got around to read one of my favorite author's early novels, The Fool's Run, by John Sandford. The Fool's Run introduces Kidd (no first name is ever given). Kidd has been featured in four Sandford novels and this is the first (the Empress File is second). He's an artist by day and a ...

The Hanged Man's Song (Kidd) 46 reviews John Sandford
Berkley, 2004
Another Kidd Novel!!
+ Probably the Best of the Kidd Series!!! + A good book
Even though it may be the last Kidd Novel for John Sanford, it did make me pick up all the others and read them once again. with this story it doesn't paint much of the hero/criminal of Kidd. you do get the idea that he's a righteous criminal with an overwhelming conscience to make him do good. and ...

L.A. Times 15 reviews Stuart Woods
HarperTorch, 1994
ONLY IN HOLLYWOOD
+ One of the Best Stuart Woods Books! + Wow...Vinnie (Michael) could have had everything, but.....
Credit must be given to the prolific Stuart Woods for pulling off a novel in which the entire cast is heinous and unlikeable. L.A. TIMES pulls it off beautifully. One can't help but get involved in Michael Vincent's rise to the top of Hollywood cream and his fall from grace too. Michael will ...

Killing Floor (Jack Reacher) 179 reviews Lee Child
Jove, 2006
Reacher at his best
+ An over-the-top mystery + Great introduction of Jack Reacher.
Lee Child`s creation is brilliant for a series of books, the transient Jack Reacher finds himself in tiny Margrave, Georgia, and is almost immediately arrested, if briefly, as a murder suspect. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that one of the victims is his brother, a brilliant U.S. Treasury ...

Dark Harbor (Stone Barrington Novels) 69 reviews Stuart Woods

Cop turned lawyer
The Margin
Perfect book title--Dark Harbor.
I took a break from Michael Connelly and tried Stuart Woods. So far I still like Connelly the best but Woods isn't too far behind. A Stone Barrington novel that follows the cop-turned-lawyer through a maze of suspense as he tries to solve the murders of ...

This book was a hoot and a half to read - a vicious gossip-monger who has always been careful to keep her own dirty laundry hidden finds out she hasn't done as good a job as she would like and finds the tables turned. She turns to Stone Barrington to get help. As things progress, more and more of ...

Swimming to Catalina 49 reviews Stuart Woods, (none)

Excellent read
He makes the books very exciting and I just want to hurry and read it so I know how it ends. To keep a person attached to a book like that takes a lot of talent, and he's got it.

The Da Vinci Code 3858 reviews Dan Brown

Elitist Criticism Aside, It's Genius
+ Dan Brown + Hard to put down.
Loathed by elitist literary critics, wannabe highbrows and religious conservatives, The Da Vinci Code is by any measure a work of genius. To dismiss it as pop drivel is to overlook the fact that countless writers are striving to produce catchy pulp fiction that will propel them to stardom and ...
