Dexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Jeff Lindsay
Vintage
, 2008
Not as good as the first two but still enjoyable.
As most have said, this wasn't quite as good as the first two Dexter novels. I didn't dislike it as much as many though. Most people's biggest problem was the supernatural aspect to it. This part didn't bother me too much since it wasn't specific to any belief ...
The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove
Christopher Moore
Harper Paperbacks
, 2004
Christopher Moore
The author hasn't written a bad book yet. Completely amusing and the characters are well developed as normal everyday people. Very relatable. If a regular person ended up in the situations the characters do, they would react the same. Lust Lizard is one of my ...

Ruth Rendell is a fabulous British author who has churned out mystery after mystery filled with dark, demented twists. This is another tautly plotted, well crafted mystery with characters that, though seemingly normal, are just a tad off the beaten path. This book ...

Beautiful Lies (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Lisa Unger
Vintage
, 2008
A stellar first novel!
I had not heard of Lisa Unger until I noticed her newly released paperback version of "Beautiful Lies". I read the back cover and was intrigued. I ordered the book and found that I had a hard time putting it down. The way Lisa Unger writes is very ...
The Big Sleep
Raymond Chandler
Vintage
, 1988
Crime writing genius
The first Philip Marlowe book and one of the best. There's only so many different ways one can talk about Chandler being one of the greatest crime writers ever but this book also has a very good plot, which some of the others fall down on. An undeniable classic of ...

Another great Scandinavian writer
Another excellent example of mystery writing that does NOT depend on sex, violence and four letter words to tell a story that keeps you wondering about the outcome. You soon feel you know Van Veeteren and the conditions he works under as if they are old friends. You ...

The Fifth Woman (A Kurt Wallander Mystery)
Henning Mankell
Vintage
, 2004
Amazing thriller
Well, I love thrillers, so my opinion is far from unbiased ... I liked this one, as many of Mankell's, because the mystery and suspense is blended with real life and totally human characters. Good, solid, interesting, clever.
The Bearded Dragon Manual (Advanced Vivarium Systems)
Philippe De Vosjoli
BowTie Press
, 2001
Will make your beardies happy
I bought this book when I first got my beardie. I didn't know anything about these animals except what I had been told by the pet store. This book is a lifesaver. It is wonderful, very educational. It covers general information, how to prepare a proper habitat, how ...

An Elegant Piece of Mystery Fiction
"Some Lie and Some Die" is a superbly crafted mystery novel. It's short--in pages, and in time-line, and it's not overly burdened with plotting or diverting details. It is, in a word, elegant. The events (a murder, a missing girl, a palette of suspects) are set ...
