Berkley Hardcover, 2006

Oh, please.

A long-lost relative, a hidden treasure map, a murdered matriach leaving behind a quirky will... this story had all the potential to be a page turner. But while this was a well-written book in the language sense, I found the plot extremely difficult to follow. There were too many new ...

Pocket, 2007

A favorite series

+ A BIBLOPHILE IN EQUESTRIAN TERRITORY

I love the Bookman series by John Dunning. This one had a lot about horse racing. Not a field of interest of mine but that said, I still look forward to the next Bookman. Until I read the book I was worried that this was the last in the series based on the title.
