Zapped (Regan Reilly Mysteries, No. 11)
Carol Higgins Clark

Scribner, 2008

Not Up to Usual Standard

I'm afraid that I have to agree with most of the reviewers. This was the weakest of the Regan Reilly mystery series. The book lacked suspense and pausibility. The reader knew early on what the outcome would be, and why would anyone attempt to break into a dwelling that one previously owned when ...

Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22)
Jonathan Kellerman

Ballantine Books, 2008

Very good read...

+ Middle of the Road for me.

Compulsion does follow along the same lines as all the Alex Delaware novels but, that's why we enjoy reading them right? I thought the book had a great flow that really kept me reading into the wee hours of the night. I think it had a good twist at the end, and really enjoy Milo's character, I ...

Nevada Barr

G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2008

Nevada Barr's "Winter Study"

+ Following Anna

Anna Pigeon has a Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)rather tumultous series of experiences in this book - more than "usual" but held interest and was a 'good read' --
  
  











  



  
Simple Genius
David Baldacci

Vision, 2008

Baldacci can do better.

I loved the "King and Maxwell" series Baldacci has been writing, but I think this book is probably the weakest in the trilogy. The story developed for this book had great potential, but the characters in it were underdeveloped and uninspiring, and the details of the story were often unclear. ...

Friendly Enemies
Victoria Taylor Murray

PublishAmerica, 2003

Hello Gabe (XOXOXO)

I absolutely love this story! Gabe Baldwin is my favorite male character in this MUST READ series. His character is alpha-male, hot, sexy, and mysterious. I like that in the characters I read about. Of course, Charles Mason and Clint Chamberlain aren't bad either. I wouldn't kick either one of ...
