Her Last Breath
Her Last Breath: A Kate Burkholder Novel
by Linda Castillo
Time Flies (5/7/2013)
Yes, Time Flies when I have a Linda Castillo book in my hands. I don't want to be interrupted until I have read the last word. The Police Chief Kate Burkholder series are interesting to me on so many levels, beginning with Kates' history, growing up Amish and leaving that …more

No Mark Upon Her: A Novel
by Deborah Crombie
No Mark Upon Her by Deborah Crombie (1/2/2012)
What a great story...I was hooked by the end of page one. Anyone who enjoys mystery and intrigue will love this book. The author is so adept at describing characters and locales that you are instantly transported to the English countryside village and the Thames River.

A Trick of the Light
A Trick of the Light: Armand Gamache Series #7
by Louise Penny
Storytelling at its' best! (7/9/2011)
Louise Penny did it again, crafted another Inspector Gamache mystery that made me wish I could move to Three Pines, that little village the maps forgot. If you are not familiar with Louise Penny, do yourself a favor, read 'A Trick of the Light', you'll enjoy every word!

Ever By My Side
Ever By My Side: A Memoir in Eight Acts Pets
by Dr. Nick Trout
Ever By My Side (1/10/2011)
The last veterinary book I read was 'All Creatures Great and Small' quite a few years ago. Getting through the first quarter of 'Ever By My Side' was slow and tedious, but as Dr. Trout reached his teen years, I was into the story and began to eagerly read on. It is so much …more

A Lonely Death: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery
by Charles Todd
A Lonely Death (11/11/2010)

The White Queen
The White Queen: A Novel
by Philippa Gregory
Fascinating (8/21/2010)
Until I read The White Queen, I had not been a fan of historical fiction, having read only ones that seem to put me to sleep. Not so with this delightful book. Philippa Gregory and The White Queen kept me up as late as I could manage, reading every word and skipping nary a …more
The False Friend
The False Friend
by Myla Goldberg
The False Friend (8/17/2010)
Definitely thought provoking, causing you to look back to your school years, analyzing friendships and events and their affect on the adult you. The beginning of the story drew you in, but I soon felt let down and even though I wanted to continue reading, I was in no rush, …more
City of Dragons
City of Dragons
by Kelli Stanley
Pure Fun (4/16/2010)
I stayed up until 4 in the morning to finish City of Dragons the first time I read it and enjoyed it so much I have already read it again, something I have never done before.
Kelli Stanley paints such vivid word pictures of 40s San Francisco that I easily imagined I was …more
