Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel
James Lee Burke
Simon & Schuster
, 2008
A complex plot with so many disparate time frames and characters makes for a cohesive and brilliantly written novel
James Lee Burke dwells in that rarified stratosphere with writers whose fans so anticipate the arrival of a new novel that they snap it up, sight unseen, the moment it hits the market. His writing is like a straight shot of single malt Scotch, or dark chocolate laced ...
The Shack
William P. Young
Windblown Media
, 2007
Take it for what it is . . . and what it is is GOOD!
I have read some very positive reviews and some very scathing reviews of this book. I have been a Christian pretty much all my life. Let me begin by saying that this book is not the Bible, nor does it ever claim to be. It should not be read as the ultimate, ...
The Broken Window: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel (Lincoln Rhyme)
Jeffery Deaver
Simon & Schuster
, 2008
Unsettling - Very Unsettling!!
I have often commented on reading a Deaver novel, that I would not want this man's nightmares. He is solidly on his game in his latest Lincoln Rhyme novel. Others have gone into great detail about the pieces of the puzzle that the paraplegic crime scene ...
Rules of Deception
Christopher Reich
Doubleday
, 2008
Ludlum Fans: Buy This Book!
This is a great quick read, intriguing characters and plot twists I didn't see coming. After reading the inside jacket synopsis, didn't think it would fly, but as I read it, the entire plot unfolded in a very believable way. The subject is right on target, very ...

Moscow Rule: "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem
(4.5 stars) In his eighth Gabriel Allon espionage thriller, Daniel Silva moves from investigating the historical crimes of the past, often related to the Holocaust, and their effects on the present, to crimes of the present and their possibly catastrophic effects on ...
Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole)
Robert Crais
Simon & Schuster
, 2008
As Usual - Great Entertainment
Crais' Elvis Cole novels are always great entertainment and this one is no different. We now look forward to the next.
Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

Fearless Fourteen

Another page turner!! Mr. THOR has matured as one of the leading thriller writers of our time. He just keeps getting better!!! Highly recommended!!
Sail
James Patterson
,
Howard Roughan
Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Audio version not a great listen
Sail is a good book for light reading. A small insignificant twist at the end. The who-done-it is told in the beginning. The audio read is strange. There are two readers, a man and a woman. Perfect!!! right? Not exactly. Who is reading the book depends on what ...
Tribute
Nora Roberts
Putnam Adult
, 2008
Fantastic!
I always look forward to another Nora Roberts. Tribute was a story that keeps Nora at the top of her game! The hero was just super. He was not your typical gung-ho macho hero, but completely and totally lovable. His quirky humor, his absence of mechanical ...
The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel
Alan Furst
Random House
, 2008
One of Furst's best.
In his return to Warsaw, Alan Furst penned a work that, to me, reads more like The Polish Officer than any of his other works. The craft and protocols of the spy game, the rift in thinking (and arrogance) in the French general staff, the terrible innovations of ...
Death Angel: A Novel
Linda Howard
Ballantine Books
, 2008
A must read for the Summer
I had a hard time putting it down. It was an exceptional read and the story line was so different from anything I've read and talk about not perfect heros and heroines well you couldn't find any two people more imperfect than Andie and Simon. But they fit together and ...
The Whole Truth
David Baldacci
Grand Central Publishing
, 2008
A Wild, Wonderful Book Ride
This is what a thriller should be! Enjoyment plus education--"The Whole Truth" brings you into the military arms world and the interesting new field of perception management (making "truth" for a wealthy client by manipulating the media, especially via the ...
The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
Benjamin Wallace
Crown
, 2008
We need a new TV series: CSI Bordeaux
As a wine writer for more than 30 years who knows some of the players mentioned in the book, I enjoyed the way Benjamin Wallace cleverly wove together history, the world of wine and France in particular and the hoax so many bought into. Not only does he chronicle an ...
The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the ...
Simon Winchester
Harper
, 2008
Right Up Winchester's Alley
If you look back at the titles of some of Mr. Winchester's older books, it's clear that Joseph Needham, the subject of this book, isn't the only man who loves China. Clearly, Winchester himself has a fascination for Asia and China. Admittedly, I have not read these ...
