A room without books is like a body without a soul. ~ Cicero

"This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book -- it makes a very poor doorstop." ~Alfred Hitchcock

I love to read! I don't really watch tv, so reading is my entertainment. I love to read just about anything. My favorite genres... more »

    Eve Duncan is still haunted by the disappearance of her daughter. It has made her work as a forensic sculptor one of her life's passions. Her search for answers has lead her to work a deal with a criminal that the CIA is watching. Can she survive and find the answers she is looking for?

    I thought this was one of the better books in the series. The plot was action driven but still had some substance to it. I wasn't too keen on Eve's attraction to the criminal, that was a bit too much for me. Overall it was a great read.

  • Check-out Time (Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries)
    • Rated 4 stars

    A pretty good cozy mystery. This one had an unusual method for it's killing. Not Kate Kingsbury best work. I do love her Manor House series better but this one was good enough to pass the time with. I will probably read more of the series.

  • No Time for Goodbye
    • Rated 4 stars

    Cynthia Bigge wakes one morning from a hangover when she was 14 to a silent house. Her parents and brother have disappeared. Now 25 years later she's still looking for answers. Someone doesn't want her to find them and will kill to keep them still a secret.

    My number one requirement for a thiller/suspense book is the fact that I can't put the book down. This definitely fit the bill. I thought the plot line was a little weak in spots, I figured out the who a little too soon for my liking. There were several twists to the plot that the end that I didn't see coming. Overall a very good read!

  • The 5th Horseman
    • Rated 5 stars

    This is the fifth book in the Women's Murder Club series. Lindsey Boxer is involved in several cases in this book. Someone is murdering patients at the hospitial. Patients that shouldn't be dying are. One of the women's, Yuki, mother is a victim. Yuki become obsessed with the doctor that treated her mother, and who is involved in a malpractice suit. The third part of the story deals with a couple of killers who pose their victims in high priced clothing and in fancy cars.

    I thought this was pretty good story, not the best in the series though. I thought that Patterson really tried to put too many story lines in the book. Two of the stories intertwine but the third has no connection to the others at all.

  • Plain Truth
    • Rated 5 stars

    Plain Truth was the story of Katie Fisher, a young Amish girl, accused of killing her newborn child. Katie can recall anything about the birth of the child.Her attorney,and distant cousin has to fight to keep her out of jail.
    I really loved this book. I thought it was one of Jodi Picoult's best books. I some times have a hard time with her endings but thought this one was perfect.

    I really loved Feehan's Drake sisters series. This one I thought wasn't as good as the others but still a very good read. I'm sad to see the end of the series but hopefully Feehan will come up with another great series in it's place.

    • Rated 4 stars

    A very suspenseful book! Coben really knows how to keep you interested in the story and keeps you guessing. I didn't have a clue as to the solution of the story but it was great one.

    High Fidelity is the story of a 30 something single guy who has just been dumped again and his search for what keeps going wrong in his personal life. He finds himself revisiting all his old girlfriends searching for answers.

    I really like this book. I had seen bits and pieces of the movie, I love John Cusack!, and thought the book was great. It was fun and witty in all the right places.

  • Boneyard
    • Rated 5 stars

    A great suspenseful thriller. I thought this book was really well written and kept me interested int the story line. I have the who figured out early on but that didn't take away my enjoyment of the story. I thought the ending had some poetic justice to it.

  • Strong Spirits
    • Rated 4 stars

    A pretty good mystery book. I thought this book was good for a first in the series. It's not the best mystery that I ever read but it was good enough to want to read the rest of the series. I did like the unique occupation of Daisy. It had a different layer to the book.
