The Front
Patricia Cornwell
Putnam Adult, 2008
Poor
I am a Patricia Cornwell fan, but am finding myself questioning as of late WHY???!!! The Front was slow to start and when it did pick up speed, it faltered once again.

Beverly Hills Dead
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Very different style.....
+ WHO Would Like Beverley Hills Dead and Why? For Some Folks, It Would Be a Great Gift!
This book is totally different from others by Stuart Woods. It deals with McCarthyism in Hollywood and I wasn't sure I would like it. Woods, as always, puts together a great story with believable characters. The storyline, based on real events, flowed. another winner for Stuart Woods!
