Review:A private eye novel in the "Spenser" mold, Lullaby Town is a typical genre novel that doesn't do anything to distinguish itself from the dozens of other detective series out there. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad book, but if you read a lot of detective fiction, there's nothing new here. Read more

Review:Outstanding - kept you wondering for some time whether or not this was or was not his father but the turn of events were certainly unexpected. A good read. Now in the process of reading Suspect - oh, boy, another goodie Read more

Review:A thoroughly enjoyable read. The characters get developed enough that it really keeps you interest, and there is enough action to keep it exciting, while remaining believable. Good choice. I'm already reading the second one. Read more

Review:I really really like most of Robert Crais's books. But I appear to be in the minority regarding the Joe Pike series. They just feel rather flat to me -like an action movie with too many CG effects.

Review:I have read several of Robert Crais' novels and purchased this one based on the positive reviews. I was "thrilled" with the book; loved the fast pace and have since recommended it to others. Fasten your seat belt! Read more

Review:A great debut novel. I may not have identified closely with the culture or many of the characters, but it was a well crafted tale. I look forward to more from this author and more about Isaiah.
Well done. Read more

Review:The simplest description would be thriller mystery. Jon goes missing for four years and has no idea what has been done to change him. He's huge, scary and his emotions control his heart at a dangerous level. Chloe was his best friend/crush but she struggles with his disappearance and return. There's a cop trying to solve some odd cases and his POV helps move the story and put the clues together. Tons of running monologues and random paths of thought but it comes together if you stick it out... Read more

Review:Almost didn't download this.....but I read the description and......who wouldn't dive into another Amanda Lee book? New characters define this beginning, as well as the people from her Wicked Witches of the Midwest series. Entertainment , mystery and hopefully even more adventures......well done! Read more

Review:Martin Cruz Smith has a very narrative and descriptive style of writing that lets you visualize the characters and their surroundings, greatly increasing the readers enjoyment. This storyline hints to supernatural overtones and is an interesting slice of modern life in Russia. Yet another high-quality read! Read more
