Hi everyone! I just finished
Alice Bliss and WOW. This is a gem of a book. A coming of age tale that is so moving. I had a reading first with this book, in that I actually cried during the final scene. It was 2am and there I was sitting on the edge of the bed with sobbing tears. Never had it happen before.
But Alice is a moving young woman.
A def. and rare 5* read for me.

Before I Go to Sleep and while a good read, I wouldn't say it was the most outstanding thriller that it's purported to be. One thing the author does well is create characters that make the reader guess where their true intentions lie.
A 3* read for me. If you're interested in reading more, my review can be found here: http://wp.me/pTRJE-6E

The Sisters Brothers: A Novel and really enjoyed it. Gave it 4* because it has a little of everything. Dry humor, great characters, grit, emotion, and plain good storytelling/writing.

A Drop of the Hard Stuff the new Matthew Scudder novel by Lawrence Block. A quick and enjoyable enough read. Scudder takes on a case that is personal to him. Interesting characters and of course detective work.

Tabloid City: A Novel and have to say that it was amazing! Easily a best book of 2011 for me.
The story has something for everyone - it's somber, exciting, fast paced, and a great read.
I think what won me over on this book was Hamill's characters. They stayed with me long after I put the book down.

A Conflict of Interest and even though it is a debut author, Mitzner's writing will no doubt cement him into the world of legal thriller writers. Fast paced, full of twists and turns, and completely engrossing. A solid 4* read.

Hi everyone! I just finished
A Hard Death: A NovelA solid 4* mystery/suspense read. I really enjoyed the story being told through a forensic pathologist's eyes.
Fast paced with interesting characters, grit, and suspense that I found I wanted to keep reading.

Greetings everyone! I just read
Don't Breathe a Word and really enjoyed it. This is my first time reading Jennifer McMahon and really enjoyed myself.
The book is one of those page turners where you can't wait to find out what happens.

Hi everyone! I just finished
The Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker. This was my first Dekker book, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little skeptical at first as I thought it might be heavy on the Christian thing (think preachy) but it wasn't at all. Just a good clean thriller that was full of action.
I reviewed the book here on my blog if anyone's interested in reading it. http://wp.me/pTRJE-54
