I thought I'd take a moment to talk about some of the books I read while we were on vacation in July. This will not be a complete list (as I read children's books as well). But it will be a good part of my list. :)
| | I found this book to be a fascinating read as I followed the separate lives of a special agent and some geriatric men with interesting skills. The interplay and the mystery totally fascinated me and kept me reading through a day (while the boys were out fishing). Excellent book. If you like a good mystery with interesting characters, this will suit you nicely. :) |
| It has been a while since I read a good Dick Francis novel. This one was compelling. I found myself wanting to know the old man's secret (who was the cornish boy). The characters were interesting, centered around the horse track, I found myself even wanting to watch the movie the main character was developing. :) Good book. | |
| | I think I have read every J. Kellerman book out there, and have liked all but one. One just freaked me out. This one did not. It was a good read from the first page. Good mystery, Alex Delaware working with Milo, being excellent on the case. Figuring out what the involvement of another therapist is all about. And in the end.. the bad guy is caught. No freaking out of me! :) A good thing that. Who needs bad dreams? :) |
| I haven't read a whole lot of Iris Johansen books, but if they are all like this one, I'll be looking for more of them. Silver was a fascinating character, Kerry an interesting one, the bad guy was very bad and I just wanted him to be caught and quickly. Just the way a good mystery novel should be don't you think? :) | |
| | This is the first Krich novel I've ever read, and it was as billed "a novel of suspense". I found myself learning information I had before. I found myself intrigued by the "why" behind the story line. Just an interesting book to read. The characters were good, quite believable, and we find there are hidden facts behind characters. Dead or alive. The good is just well written and I will hopefully be back for more. |
| I have to admit, I probably would have enjoyed this book more if I wasn't constantly comparing this Temperance Brennan with the TV show. It was a total distraction for me. None-the-less, a well written book, with intriguing characters with an ending and reasoning I didn't expect. Throughout the story we find Tempe trying to extricate herself from an unwilling imprisonment. So everything in the book happens before she was kidnapped. It was an intriguing way of telling the story. | |
| | I finally FINALLY found the first book were Eve meets Roarke. I've read Robb's other books with these characters and knew there was a story behind it but hadn't found the first one. Now, I know the story and my life is complete (not really) but it's good to know the start of it all. The book itself.. a good mystery. We know who the bad guy is from the start, and now it's just a matter of tracking him down. Dealing with political pressures, finding about family sins, and watching good police work in action. Good book. |
Later today I hope to make a list of what I am currently reading, for reviews, for pleasure, with my boy and such like. We'll see how the day goes on shall we? :)
