Has Dean Jumped the Shark?

Before anyone throws stones in my direction, I am one of those rabid fans who has read everything Dean has written. He is the one author who's books I purchase new automatically, the hardback version, the one where I have to plunk down some real bucks because I can't wait to enter Dean's world. ...

amazing author!!

+ The Virgin's Lover

I was given The Other Boleyn Girl as a gift and devoured it. Since then I have read every other book in the Tudor series. I am patiently awaiting her new book which is to hit the shelves in September. She is one of those authors who makes you not want the book to end. And her talent is consistent ...

Woman In The Dark: A Novel of Dangerous Romance8 reviews
Dashiell Hammett

Knopf, 1988

Skillfully written.

+ Brief, but all the best of Hammett
+ Romance Hard-Boiled.

This pamphlet sized publication is really a short story which can easily be read in one sitting. It's about an ex-con and a mystery woman who meet one stormy night and are forced to take flight from the woman's rich boyfriend as well as the police. Hammett's craftsmanship as a writer is well ...

Berkley Hardcover, 2008

The stories have changed, but they're not bad!

+ love it

Ok, so I've read EVERY single book that LKH has written. Yes, her stories have changed to become a lot more about sex (a little ironic especially for the Anita Blake series since Anita started off as Ms. Chastity Belt). Still, it doesn't make the stories bad. That being said, I like romance ...

As Smooth as Heroin, Coursing Through Your Veins

+ The Reviewers Are Wrong
+ "...he always got a lot of fun out of acting like the other half of a half-wit."

An overlooked treasure, THE DAIN CURSE is usually overshadowed by Dashiell Hammett's better known books, THE MALTESE FALCON and THE THIN MAN. This is unfortunate. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I think this book holds its own very well against its better known brethren. Perhaps it is the ...

Refreshing and Unique

+ Purely Heartwarming

I was delightfully surprised by a Patterson book that escapes the confines of his usual murder mystery novels and suspends the very reality that makes many of his other novels so powerful. I related greatly to Jane as a child, and it brought back many of my own painful memories that were good to ...
