With No One as Witness (Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers Novels)
Elizabeth George
Harper, 2006
Hey! These characters are not real people
+ Inexcusable and audacity...
+ Was not long enough for me!
Some of this book's negative reviews, even outraged ones, have fascinated me. I too have read all of George's police procedurals. I favor British works in this genre and must remind myself that George is American. Regardless of a book's length, I am usually sad when it ends. For me it is like ...

The Sleeping Doll: A Novel (Kathryn Dance Novels)
Jeffery Deaver
Simon & Schuster, 2007
Another good Deaver thriller...
another good Deaver thriller - but this time a pleasant break from Lincoln Rhyme when he stars Kathryn Dance, a character introduced in Cold Moon. Plenty of twists and turns as only Deaver can offer - although one I felt unnecessary. Not his best, but still a very solid novel.

Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2007
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you
+ Great
+ Typical Jack Reacher
The Jack Reacher series is great. Some of the best parts are snippets of his past history as an MP major. This book has more of his history than any other.

Dark Harbor (Stone Barrington Novels)
Stuart Woods
Signet, 2006
Cop turned lawyer
The Margin
Perfect book title--Dark Harbor.
I took a break from Michael Connelly and tried Stuart Woods. So far I still like Connelly the best but Woods isn't too far behind. A Stone Barrington novel that follows the cop-turned-lawyer through a maze of suspense as he tries to solve the murders of ...

Lifeguard
James Patterson, Andrew Gross
Grand Central Publishing, 2006
A great thriller full of twists
+ Billy Campbell spices Patterson's latest thriller with his Broadway background, lending a perfect dramatic touch
Patterson creates a character who is very likeable and his relationship with Ellie is very likeable and believable. This is one with twists to the VERY end, and I very much liked the ending. One of Patterson's best in my opinion.

Amazing

This book was so amazing. What started out as a thriller with the terrorists taking people hostage, turned into a love story and a relationship between the terrorists and the hostages that you would never expect. The grim situation turns into a beautiful event, and the ending will have you ...
