Review:I love Stone Barrington, but Patrick is everything stone is and more. I haven't finished this book and I am already hooked. It is a great story wrapped up in some incredibly subtle humor. I was cracking up all the way to and from work. I am glad I bought all of the other unabridged Lehane books on tape. Read more

Review:RWW has created a strong character, written that if I didn't know he wrote it I would say someone else did. I read a lot of series with Doc Ford being one of them. I felt RWW wrote this book a different way and I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the way he started the Doc Ford series, Sanibel Flats, in a way that I've felt he's lost. I will look forward to Hannah Smiths next adventure. Read more

Review:Mr. Berger writes a fabulous, highly improbable story -and records an accurately portrayed (for the era), yet extremely readable social account at the same time. All the fascinating characters- how they behave, where they come from, and what happens to them- are closely based on a past reality, and all is sensitively and skillfully portrayed by a truly talented amateur historian. Don't care about the history part of the American West? Read it anyway- this book is so much fun! Read more

Review:I have been meaning to review this book for years; now I have to give it short shrift to get it off my chest and out of my head:

This is the only book that I have EVER read three times (in 50 years as a reader). There are only two books that I have read twice.
Crowley's prose is elegant, frequently more poetic than prosaic. Throughout the book, he seems to be writing on two levels; many times, I KNOW he is writing on some third level, but I cannot put my finger on it, and that is whe... Read more

Review:OK, I am only briefly going to summarize the book, because that has been done very well already. Basically Eve Duncan (who we have met in previous books) is enticed into reconstructing a skull for an arms dealer and become embroiled in a fight between him and a drug dealer. And of course, Joe follows her down and into the middle of the fight.

***SPOILER***** I guess the problem I had with this book is that Joe and Eve are having some problems, or possibly having some problems. They hav... Read more

Review:What a tangled mess of would-be thrills! The author introduces us to a rather unlikeable heroine and draws us into a tepid plot that combines ancient history and suicide nuclear bombers. The heroine, Jane MacGuire, is unsympathetic; instead of being feisty, she just seems contrary. The dialogue in this book is full of small but continuous argument that becomes very, very tiresome.
I listened to the book on CD and found myself skipping to the next track again and again. Here's the most tellin... Read more

Review:The Killing Game is an awesome thriller. Eve Duncan's child, Bonnie, was murdered 10 years ago by a serial killer. The killer refused to reveal the location of Bonnie's body before he was executed. Now some bones have been uncovered, one of which may be Bonnie. Eve wants to use her skills in facial reconstruction to find out if this could be her girl.
In the meantime, a serial killer has set his sights on Eve. Bored and unable to experience emotion, he has set himself a game playing with... Read more

Review:If poor writing really distracts you, then pass on this one. I enjoyed the story Johansen told, just not how she told it. There were three or four times when the poor writing really annoyed me; however, i was able to enjoy the mystery. Read more

Review:I have never written a review before but I couldn't let this go. I had heard good things about Iris Johansen's books so I thought I would give it a try. It was such a disappointment. I made myself finish it but actually started another book so that I had something thoughtful to read while working my way through her book. The characters were as cliche as I have ever read. The plot didn't excite me. Unless it was free, I would never read another of Johansen's books. She obviously rides on her past... Read more

Review:Very interesting turn of events. The ending left me hanging and wanting more. So many new questions that are left to be answered. I hope Young and Alexa can finally get it together and be a couple. The chemistry is there and they both are crazy about each other...however the fight between the two was crazy. GOD is the man however he playing with fire messing with Sloan. I really think she done something to him and it has yet to be revealed. I dont care much for the adding of the new character Su...
