The Front
Patricia Cornwell

Putnam Adult, 2008

The audacious new adventure of the At Risk team from America’s #1 bestselling crime writer. When Patricia Cornwell introduced the quicksilver, cut-to-the-bone style and extraordinary cast of characters of At Risk , the result was electrifying: “ At Risk is Cornwell’s finest novel. It works in every way possible— fascinating characters, solid ...
  
  











  



  
The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music
Steve Lopez

Putnam Adult, 2008

A profoundly moving read
Let me say up front that I normally avoid books like the Soloist. When I picked it up, however, and started glancing through it I became hooked and couldn't really put it down. Is it a page turner? Not really. For me I became entangled with Steve Lopez, the author, ...
  
  











  



  
Armageddon in Retrospect
Kurt Vonnegut

Putnam Adult, 2008

Vaya Con Dios, Kurt
It is still hard to accept, even after a year, that Kurt Vonnegut is gone. I think this is the way readers must have felt after Mark Twain passed in 1910. "Armageddon in Retrospect" comes then as something like a parting gift...no, that's not right; "A Man Without a ...
  
  











  



  
Phantom Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries)
John Sandford

Putnam Adult, 2008

fun police procedural
There is one case that Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Chief Lucas Davenport likes very much; watching the home of Heather Toms whose husband Sigites "Siggy" is on the run from the police for drug dealing. Siggy fled after making bail, but Lucas believes he ...
  
  











  



  
Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)
Nevada Barr

Putnam Adult, 2008

Winter Study
Nevada Barr's new book, WINTER STUDY, is a real thriller. True to her reputation, her novels continue to be page turners! I could hardly wait until this book came out but it was worth the wait. I'm adding it to my collection as I own every book she has written.

Santa Fe Dead

Putnam Adult, 2008

fast-paced thriller
No one is more surprised than Santa Fe lawyer Ed Eagle when his ex-wife, who is on trial for two murders and sundry other charges, escapes from the courtroom just before the verdict was to be announced. Not concerned except for some pampering, Barbara visits a nearby ...
  
  











  



  
Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your ...
Peter J. D'Adamo

Putnam Adult, 1996

blood typing
This book is very interesting and easy to follow. I think this is a very interesting concept. I have been on this diet and I honestly have to say I am feeling so much better, even after 3 weeks.

The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the “gold standard” ( The Dallas Morning News ) of thriller writers . Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the world’s finest writers of international intrigue and espionage— “a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth and John le Carré” ...
  
  











  



  
Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Robert B. Parker

Putnam Adult, 2008

Maybe the best of the Stone series...
Perhaps I was just in the right mood, but I devoured this one in two sittings, and the break I took in order to go to sleep was done regretfully. For a change, the actual suspense/mystery/thriller plot was better than the personal relationships depicted. Thus, it ...
  
  











  



  
T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Sue Grafton

Putnam Adult, 2007

One of her best yet!
Sue Grafton continues her "alphabet mystery" series with this book, which follows Kinsey Millhone as she tries to rescue her elderly neighbor from a deviant caregiver. This book is told from the villain's perspective interwoven with Kinsey's, which works perfectly to ...
  
  











  



  
Strangers in Death (In Death)
J.D. Robb

Putnam Adult, 2008

As Good As Always
It might not always be a compliment to say that a book is predictable, but this 26th outing in the Eve Dallas series is predictably terrific, just like all the rest. As always, once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down again until I was finished. In this ...
  
  











  



  
Guilty
Karen Robards

Putnam Adult, 2008

Loved the book
Guilty is a really good book. I read it through in one night and was sorry to see it end. Kate White is a prosecutor with a young son who is threatened by someone out of her troubled past. Homicide detective Tom Braga protects her and suspects her at the same time, and ...
