The Pelican Brief, only without any murders
Another fine story from Grisham, with lots of juicy details about how the justice system really works. Without giving anything away, the basic plot is: 1) Small-town lawyer wins a huge verdict against a pesticide manufacturer in Mississippi; 2) the manufacturer ...
The Whole Truth

HIGH OCTANE NARRATION OF FRONT PAGE THRILLER

Dead Heat
Last of Rosenberg's series will keep you on the edge of your seat! One must pray for our country as we see these things unfold. I am so grateful that the opportunity to accept Yeshua into your heart is presented often throughout this novel.

Kidnapping, Arson and Murder, Fast-Paced & Very Good
I've read all the Alex Cross books up to about a couple years ago and I've read Honeymoon, also by Mr. Patterson and liked it, but I've never read any of the Woman's Murder Club books. I don't know why, probably because there's so much stuff out there to read and not ...

World Without End

World Without End by Ken Follett
I loved PILLARS OF THE EARTH, so my expectations for this follow-up were high. OK, I'm not completely finished, but so far it is just as compelling and satisfying as the earlier tome. There are those exciting, big scenes of death and disaster juxtaposed with honest, ...
