Step on a Crack 174 reviews James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Outstanding Read - Great New Main Character
+ The Kids Make the Hero Real (Spoilers) + review of the audio version
I never thought I would enjoy a character as much as Alex Cross, but Michael Bennett was great. Imagine being a police detective with 10 adopted kids. The twists in this book were great. I can't wait for the next book! Great job, Mr Patterson. S.L. Chessor author of Poodlums, Boogeymen and Booglers ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels) 244 reviews Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Best Reacher Book Yet
+ LOVED this book...
This is Child's best Reacher book. Although the pace is a little slower than many of the other books in the Reacher series, the slower pace, combined with the intriguing mysteries to be solved, make it very worthwhile. I highly recommend it!

The 6th Target 136 reviews James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Lotsa Murder Going Here
+ 6th Target
In case you don't know, the Woman's Murder Club is made up of San Francisco Detective Lindsay Boxer, Assistant D.A. Yuki Castellano, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn and Reporter Cindy Thomas. In this one we have three story lines going at once, all interesting.
The book opens with wacko Fred ...

Interred with Their Bones 52 reviews Jennifer Lee Carrell
Dutton Adult, 2007
A no holds 'Bard' thriller....
+ Good mystery, good history!
Jennifer Lee Carrell has done herself in injustice with delivering 'Interred With Their Bones' as her debut novel. A story rife with Shakespearean darkness and mystery, and built upon centuries old fact and legend; Ms. Carrell will find it difficult, I can well imagine, to surpass herself with a ...

After Dark

After Dark by Haruki Murakami: In Haruki Murakami's latest novel, After Dark, he tells a unique and compelling story of what goes on after midnight on the streets of Tokyo. It is a very different world from that of the daytime, with very different people. Murakami makes this clear by revealing that ...

The Lemur: A Novel 6 reviews Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Smooth oddity
I was half-way through this book in no time, came up for a breather, and thought that it was an awfully quick read. The cynical side of me wanted to ask if this were meant as made-for-movie book, sort of like McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. Maybe Banville needed to fulfill a contract or was ...
