Change of Heart: A Novel 184 reviews Jodi Picoult
Atria, 2008
excellent book
+ Overall solid Picoult
This is one of the best books I have read. It reminds me of The Green Mile. She tells this story from different viewpoints. She includes ideas from a rabbi, a priest and the gnostic scriptures. Her characters are well developed and believable. I loved this book and did not want it to end.

Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels) 57 reviews Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2008
Love Jesse...Hate Jenn
+ I love Jesse Stone + Crow is back ...
I love this Jesse Sone novel. If you like Jesse you will like this book. It is more of the "same".
That being said...
I am sick of Jenn. Enough of her already! Get over her!
Enough drinking for Jesse. That is getting old.
I enjoy reading all of the Jesse Stone novels. I love the character. ...

The Front 217 reviews Patricia Cornwell
Putnam Adult, 2008
Poor
I am a Patricia Cornwell fan, but am finding myself questioning as of late WHY???!!! The Front was slow to start and when it did pick up speed, it faltered once again.
Though there were limited pages, it didn't captivate; forcing one to wonder if it was a rushed publication.
Nevertheless, ...

The TinRoof Blowdown
+ Soaked in atmosphere and full of detailed description + "I wasn't sure New Orleans would survive."

Hold Tight 129 reviews Harlan Coben
Dutton Adult, 2008
Intense Thriller and Keeps you on the Edge
+ Terror of parenting today + No Title
Coben entitled this appropriately, because it really does make you hold on tight. It has a whole range of characters and fits them in nicely. He provides just enough background on the characters to make their actions believable. There are several sub-plots that occur and contribute to a steady ...

Darkly Dreaming Dexter 237 reviews Jeff Lindsay
Vintage, 2006
A heartless killer with heart
+ Read it then watch it + Good read
How do you make a serial killer likeable? First, make him not only intelligent, but classy as well (Hannibal Lecter is perhaps the best example). Next, add some dark humor, to make it clear that he is not to be taken TOO seriously. And as a final touch, make sure that the folks he kills are ...
