David Baldacci

Warner Books, 2007

A bad war produces bad effects

There is a fascinating style in Baldacci's books. We are always dealing with state business and crime intertwined in the plot. In this case the CIA, the FBI and the DEA are concerned. They are shown as shady and even dangerous if not criminal from the very start. Then two intriguing levels are ...

Frederick Forsyth

Putnam Adult, 2006

Fast paced and topical thriller

Forsyth weaves actual events and people throughout this novel, placing his two main characters throughout various conflicts in recent history. It comes dangerously close to a "Forrest Gump" sequence but in the end, most of these chance meetings do play a significant role as the plot unfolds. ...

Maeve Binchy

Knopf, 2007

traditions change, too

+ Short Stories Form an Engrossing Tale
+ Reflections of faith.

Binchy's characters are so intensely real, it take a while to realize each person also represents a social layer and each person's choice also implies a political truth. The vivid personalities capture you as they gather into a community of individuals doing their work or committing their crime in ...

The last work of Michael Crichton. He has a kind of arrogant attitude towards his readers, but I generally agree with him.

I received this book as a Christmas present last year. On the morning of Dec. 26 I decided to read a couple of paragraphs before cleaning up the house from all the company the day before.

A great comeback from Slow Burn

+ Great Read

I am a huge fan of the Julie Garwood Buchanan series, and Shadow Dance did not disappoint! I have loved Noah Clayborne's character since he was introduced.(For those Julie Garwood fanatics like me he is a descendant of the Clayborne's in the historical books For the Roses and Come the Spring) ...

Kensington, 2007

Must remember that it's FICTION

I enjoyed the story. Like every other book written by Lisa Jackson I think she goes into detail way too much, but I've learned where to skim through her words and where I need to pay attention. While I guessed part of what was going on, I definitely did not figure out the entire story of who the ...

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006

Might Not Be Your Meat

Joseph Finder's recent "Company Man" is another entry in his assured skein of business-platformed thrillers, and it's got plenty of red meat for his readers. His protagonist, Nick Conover, is a small town Michigan boy, a former local star athlete, who's fought his way to the chief executive ...
