The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel
Alan Furst
Random House, 2008
Furst is First
+ A Great Read
Furst is the best writer of thrillers in the business and The Spies of Warsaw is first-rate Furst. All of his novels are historically accurate, not only in the major events that actually occurred but in the ambiance of the setting and the psychological outlook of his fictional characters.

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2008
LOVE PLUM-
+ Fearless Fourteen
This series is my absolute favorite "relax and read". Such great characters and always makes me laugh- perhaps after 14 there are just so many high expectations that fans get overly critical. Every person I recommend this just adores Stephanie Plum. Keep em coming Evanovich- but hey can you ...

Blood Noir (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 16)
Laurell K. Hamilton
Berkley Hardcover, 2008
Another Great Book About Anita Blake!
Blood Noir was one of my favorite books in the Anita Blake series. First of all the fact that you get to see more from Jason, who I have thought was one of the most lovable werewolves. Laurell K. Hamilton has a way of mixing romance with action and adventure in a way that doesn't seem completely ...

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 2007
The Coin Has No Say
+ Great writing
+ Whipped Through That One
Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story.
McCarthy has carved out a ...

The Reapers: A Thriller
John Connolly
Atria, 2008
One Of Connolly's Best!
+ Reapers not up to Connolly's high standards
The Reapers is the best book I've read in quite some time. Fast-paced, beautifully written and always interesting, this one takes all of Connolly's characters and puts them in a medly of action and suspense. And this time, instead of being from Charlie Parker's point of view, the book tells the ...

Plague Ship (Oregon Files)
Clive Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2008
One of Cussler's best novels
+ Another nice one
+ Plague ship
I have read many of Clive Cussler's novels, and I consider this to be one of his best. Since other reviewers have discussed the plot, I will comment on other aspects of the story.
The characters or larger than life, but not ridiculously so. The same is true of the Chairman's ship. What I liked ...

Sail
James Patterson, Howard Roughan
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
The Patterson name must be a stamp.
James Patterson has written some memorable thrillers but Sail seems to be written by a ghost writer who is new (or tired) of the genre and pushed to this book on the masses using the Patterson label. Don't get me wrong, this is a quick and easy read, but the characters never seem to grasp the ...
