The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Public Domain Books, 1999
Wonderful, funny, so glad i downloaded this!
I love the classics that are available, and right now I am SO enjoying these stories!! I've never read Doyle before, but it's fun for me to watch each mystery unroll the way they do. I can't help but laugh at the genius of these stories!! So glad I was able to get this ...

A Little Death In Dixie
Bell Bridge Books, 2010
I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this book.
(I have the Kindle version but don't know how to change the notation "paper back" on this review looking at the 'review page'.)
I don't normally read detective stories. This was so good I'd like to read another of Lisa Turner's books.
Wonderful twists in the ...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Vintage, 2008
Great series
I read all 3 of these Stieg Larsson "Milennium" books in about 2 weeks on vacation & highly recommend them. Not only are they well written mysteries involving unusal characters, they are windows into contemporary Sweden - a place which, frankly, I'd never thought alot ...

From a Distance (Timber Ridge Reflections, Book 1)
Bethany House Publishers, 2008
What a great find!
I initially got this book because it was free, and thinking it was free I expected it to be short and sweet and a quick read. However after the first few chapters I was totally hooked and I found it hard to put this book down. I love historical romances and this had ...

Freedom: A Novel
Jonathan Franzen
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010
Freedom and its implications
This is the first review I've ever written on Amazon and will likely be my last. It's also maybe more interpretative than is appropriate. I should also note that I might probably reveal one or two [important] plot details in making my point, so if that concerns you, ...

Hostile Intent
Pinnacle, 2009
No "Mitch Rapp."
Just finished readng Hostile Intent and it was enjoyable. Michael Walsh is not..and is never going to be..."the Vance Flynn of the 21st century." The character "Delvin" is the clandestine hero. Situations in all books of this nature have to be somewhat believable ...

Billy Boyle: A World War II Mystery
Soho Press, 2006
Wonderfully written
Wonderfully written, very entertaining. A detective story, yes, but woven around an important fact of WWII, and realistically written.

The Pearl at the Gate
Samhain Publishing, Ltd., 2008
Erotic Take on Bluebeard Tale
I read this a while back and really enjoyed it. This is firmly in the erotic romance category, so people who are not looking for a very explicit tale will not enjoy this story.
"Pearl" is about a recently married couple. The husband has spent a lot of time at sea ...

Lessons From A Younger Lover
Kensington Books, 2010
Intelligent, Romantic, & Sexy...LOVED IT
This was one of the best romance novels that I have read. Zuri Day knows how to write a story. The book flowed from beginning to end. I could barely put it down. It was warm, romantic, and sexy. All the characters were great(the good - Ransom & Gwen and the bad - ...

Pride and Prejudice
Public Domain Books, 1998
Austen's Best Work!
When reading any Jane Austen novel you have to have a certain taste in literature to fully appreciate her work. If one posesses that taste they can not doubt that Pride & Prejudice is her best work.

The Postcard Killers
Little, Brown and Company, 2010
Great storytelling
Sometimes, when I read what others have written, I can't believe that we're comparing the same book. I found The Postcard Killers to be a fantasitc mystery novel. I enjoy Patterson, with or without other authors. All the twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
