Just a Little on the Side
+ Enjoyable Quickie
Here we have still another James Patterson Thriller, this one co-authored by Michael Ledwidge, who is a thriller writer in his own right, and I have to say, despite all the criticism I've heard of these shotgun delivery James Patterson novels, I've really liked the last two I've read and I really ...

The Front
Patricia Cornwell
Putnam Adult, 2008
The Front, Patricia Cornwall
This book is an example of the deteriorating standards of one of the finest thriller writers. The early Scarpeta books were superb but the last four or five titles have been dull, with weak plots. The main characters too have lost their spark and authenticity. The Front is not Scarpeta, but it ...

SUPERB!!!!!!!!
+ Exciting, Thrilling, Historical Fictional Treasure Hunt

Although not a real fan of "political" thrillers...this book had me riveted from the first few paragraphs. Well done, Mr. Thor!!!! I'm sure there's a lot more truth to this than any of us would like to believe.

Killer Heat
Linda Fairstein
Doubleday, 2008
Great Book for Alex Cooper Fans!!
+ An Outstanding Mystery and a Great Thriller too
+ Another great book by Linda Fairstein
I don't recommend it as your first Linda Fairstein novel, because you'll enjoy it more if you have background knowledge of the characters. There are nuances on Mike's side that you will not get - at all - if you don't "know" him. Start at the beginning - it's worth it! The plot itself is typical ...
