Careless in Red: A Novel 130 reviews
Elizabeth George
Harper, 2008
Thomas Lynley continues his journey
+ Careless in Red
....metaphorically speaking.
This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...

Dexter Part 3
+ In the Dark solid addtion to the series of Dexter
+ Dexter in the dark
This book in the Dexter series takes a different approach than the other 2 books. I read a lot of the reviews here, and I was almost tempted not to bother listening to the audio book version I had. However, its a great read and it delves into Dexter - who he is, why he is the way he is, and what ...

The Chamber282 reviews
John Grisham
Delta, 2005
John Grisham's Best-Seller
+ The Chamber Review...great!
+ An Extended Look at Guilt, Remorse, Punishment, and Redemption
I have long been a John Grisham fan. My personal favorite is his first book, A Time to Kill, later adapted into a successful film. Some of Grisham's books are heavily influenced by Christianity. The Testament and The Last Juror come to mind. The Chamber is John Grisham's best-selling book - ever. ...

I had never read any books by Robert Crais prior to 2 months ago when I picked up Chasing Darkness. I had seen the name Elvis Cole here and there and thought any book with a PI named Elvis was probably going to be a joke, literally and figuratively. I am glad I overcame my own foolish ...
