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 ...

The Lemur: A Novel
Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Smooth oddity
I was half-way through this book in no time, came up for a breather, and thought that it was an awfully quick read. The cynical side of me wanted to ask if this were meant as made-for-movie book, sort of like McCarthy's No Country for Old Men. Maybe Banville needed to fulfill a contract or was ...

Blasphemy
Douglas Preston
Forge Books, 2008
If a book ever deserved 5 stars its this one!
+ Hard to Put Down for Anyone Interested in Religion and Science
Seriously I recommend you do whatever you can to get a hold of specifically the AUDIO BOOK version. The narrator was fantastic in the varous voices he created ranging from Navaho Indians, to a southern televangelist and even a Borne Agan Biker. His voice for Gregory North Hezalious was particularly ...

Careless in Red: A Novel
Elizabeth George
Harper, 2008
careless in red
+ Lynley & Havers are back = 5 stars, Daidre Trahair = pain
Elizabeth George in my favorite writer, and I purchased "Careless in Red" the day it came out. I was so disappointed in the reviews that it took awhile for me to start it. Big mistake. I thought it was terrific. Perhaps not quite in the league with "Playing for the Ashes" or "Deception of his ...
