Damage Control (Joanna Brady Mysteries, Book 13) 30 reviews
J. A. Jance
William Morrow, 2008
Once more into the breach for Sheriff Brady
+ A Moving Read
I find myself looking for the characters and places as I travel Sheriff Brady's jurisdiction. It is impossible to read J.A.Jances books and not begin thinking of them as almost real. The problems and trials are those we all face or have faced- our good sheriff in book after book is very human in ...

The Book of Lies35 reviews
Brad Meltzer
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Book of Lies????
+ This was a great read!
+ Book review
At first I was hesitant about the topic, even though it intrigued me. The idea of a link, in history (death of the dad of superman's creator and Cain and Able) sparked my curiosity. I loved the parallel that Brad used in his writing and even though this is my first novel, from Brad Meltzer, I found ...

Bones (Alex Delaware, No. 23)2 reviews
Jonathan Kellerman
Ballantine Books, 2008
He's back in fine form
+ entertaining whodunit
Jonathan Kellerman's books have been up and down for me in the last few years. It seems that once Robin left, the storylines left with her.
However, in Bones, Kellerman's newest book, I finally found the "old" Alex. Witty, genuine, interesting. The story of murder of prostitutes and of a music ...

Brunonia Barry's The Lace Reader is a novel that delves into so many realms, it is hard to know where to start. The first chapter introduces us to Towner Whitney, one of a long line of Whitney women who have been labeled "quirky" by the other inhabitants of Salem. The chapter opens:
