Salem Falls
Jodi Picoult
Washington Square Press, 2002
Jodi Picoult Does It Again
+ A Touch of Witchery
Jodi Picoult is one of my new favorite authors. She certainly knows how to write a page-turner and how to straddle the line between "serious" and popular fiction. So far I have read Plain Truth, Harvesting the Heart, My Sister's Keeper, and this novel, Salem Falls. My favorite is a toss up between ...

Hold Tight
Harlan Coben
Dutton Adult, 2008
Intense Thriller and Keeps you on the Edge
+ Terror of parenting today
+ No Title
Coben entitled this appropriately, because it really does make you hold on tight. It has a whole range of characters and fits them in nicely. He provides just enough background on the characters to make their actions believable. There are several sub-plots that occur and contribute to a steady ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller
Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Spellbinding
+ Ntl' Treasure Meets Clive
+ Kept Me Interested
This is my first Brad Thor Book. It is by far the best book I have read since Noble House. Thor has the ability to intertwine history with fiction and produces a most riveting read. I especially enjoyed reading Chapter 16 about the Barbary Pirates. I remember my High School history book ...

Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22)
Jonathan Kellerman
Ballantine Books, 2008
Very good read...
+ Middle of the Road for me.
Compulsion does follow along the same lines as all the Alex Delaware novels but, that's why we enjoy reading them right? I thought the book had a great flow that really kept me reading into the wee hours of the night. I think it had a good twist at the end, and really enjoy Milo's character, I ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Great book!
+ Reacher Book - Nothing to Lose
+ I read it, and I liked it
Um . . . I don't usually argue with everyday reviewers but have to say that I sincerely believe that anyone who says he or she doesn't like this book is totally wacked. It's a fantastic read. Not much more to say than that. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys highly atmospheric intrigue.

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Yet another great Plum book
+ LOVE PLUM-
+ Fearless Fourteen
Fearless Fourteen is every bit as funny as the last book. It's brilliant over the top fun and the love triangle with Morelli and Ranger is now nearing breaking point. When will Stephanie make up her mind for good?
There's lots more fun in here for fans of the rest of the series and I'm now ...

Honeymoon
James Patterson, Howard Roughan
Grand Central Publishing, 2006
A New twist on familiar story line
+ LOVED IT!!!
I enjoyed this book, as I enjoy all of Mr. Patterson's books. This story line was quite familiar to me as it reminded slightly of the movie black widow. If I try to explain it, Ill just give it all away just read the book it was suspenseful and not always easy to anticipate which is always a plus. ...
