Now and Then58 reviews Robert B. Parker Putnam Adult, 2007 Terrific read... + A notch above some of the more recent series' efforts... + Excellent I've been reading Parker for a long time, and it's great to see him back at the top of his form again. Even when the book is not great, Spenser is always fun. And this book shows our favorite PI at his best. Wisecracking with cops and bad guys, flirting with beautiful women, and, of course, being ...             Hannibal Rising361 reviews Thomas Harris Dell, 2007 A cut above the usual murder story + Good book, retrospective of 'Hannibal Lecter' This book is, in some ways, more chilling than the previous installments of Harris' Hannibal Lecter books.

We loved both!             The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel70 reviews Stephen Hunter Simon & Schuster, 2007 really good + Overreaching a bit I really liked it. It was my second Hunter book after POI. Another great American novel. Some of the other reviews talk about some parts being unbelievable; I thought that most of this was explained by the spiritual help his father was giving him from above. I am on to my next Hunter novel.             Nature Girl143 reviews Carl Hiaasen Grand Central Publishing, 2007 Sexy, Wacky, Funny Book + Rip roaring fun! + Hijinks and Heroism + Pretty Good             French Fried (Berkley Prime Crime Mysteries)3 reviews Nancy Fairbanks Berkley, 2006 terrific amateur sleuth mystery Toxin expert Professor Jason Blue and his wife food columnist Carolyn are in Lyons to meet with members of the university who will be attending a science conference in Avigon sponsored by the Chemistry Department.

There wasn't much Santa Teresa sentimentality in it or Polish food reviews and amazing (sexually active) 90-year olds. The whole thing was developed like a real-life project and the problem was solved very methodically by Kinsey being a ...             Hurricane Homicide (Berkley Prime Crime Mysteries)3 reviews Nora Charles Berkley, 2006 You can run, but you can't hide - + Snowbirds, watch out! + Snappy Seniors and Harrowing Hurricanes History has long tentacles.
