book description:All it took was one scone.

Even worse, the police suspect foul play when they realize that someone tampere...
Risk Agent, The (2012)
Ridley Pearson is one of my favorite authors. This latest book, however, is a little frenetic, with a confusing plot. The book is set in China, and immerses itself in the Chinese culture. It's a fascinating ride, but at times difficult to follow. It gets even more complicated as a ton of characte...
Death Swatch (2008)
This is the sixth book in Laura Childs' Scrapbooking cozy mystery series. This one takes place at Mardi Gras as Carmela and her friend Ava attend a party by friend Jekyl Hardy. Ava is interested in the float designer, Archie, but they are shocked to find him garroted by a piece of barbed wire on...
Cold Vengence (2011)
I have rated this book so low because it feels like it was not written by the authors themselves. The characters of Pendergast and Constance are just a shade inconsistent with previous books. There are several chapters that elaborate on meaningless plot filler (such as why D'Agosta cooks for Hayw...
Christmas in Absaroka County (2012)
Love Walt, and love these little side-trips. Did NOT love that Amazon wanted $3.79 for 82 pages (most of which were the first chapter of Cold Dish/Longmire #1).A handful of short stories showing the more human side of Walt - specifically in relation to Christmas and his grieving for his wife. J...
Not a Drill (2014)
And so in “Drill”, we have the latest short story to serve as teaser for the author’s newest full-length novel just published (“Personal”). Lee Child's fans like these brief tales, as do we, as sometimes they fill in little gaps about our hero Reacher. This one is a little different – Jack is d...

Teddy Faye is Stone's, Holly's, and Dino's nemesis, but now they have another one, the killer of this whodunit. In Washington, the murder and then a few days later the suicide of the spouse should have been been just that. But President and First Lady Will and Kate Lee ask Holly, Dino, and Sto...
Worthy Brown's Daughter Low Price CD (2014)
Lupe's Review:"I've been here too long, Mr. Penny. If someone sees us talking, it could go bad for me." He started to walk away. "Wait. If I decide to help you how can I get in touch?" "Don't worry about that. If you gonna help me, I'll find you." -------------------------------------------------...
Worthy Brown's Daughter CD (2014)
I was very surprised by this book. Having read other Margolin books, I anticipated a story with a modern setting, some dark crime, and the thriller sense of writing for which Margolin is so well known. I was pleasantly surprised, however; this book is actually set in the 1860s. It is a story o...
The Ides of April (2013)
I really wanted to like this. I utterly adore the Falco novels and have read every one more than once. Upon rereading Nemesis, I saw more clearly how Albia was being set up as to follow Falco. The first time I read it, I remember thinking - aargh, no, I can't stand this character, why is Linds...

This is the beginning of the Jason Kolarich series. Jason is a lawyer hired to defend a childhood friend who stands accused of killing his sister's murderer several years after the fact. He's happy to help an old friend - especially one like Sammy that he owes a real debt of gratitude to. Thin...

A Informadora (2014)
Any fan of Lindsey Davis' Falco series will enjoy this book. His daughter, Flavia Albia, has taken the reins of the informer business and is negotiating ancient Rome as a professional woman (though not as a prostitute, as she would say). Falco and Helena are incidental characters, but they have...
On Borrowed Time (2011)
This is the first of David Rosenfelt's books that I've read that is not a part of his popular, Andy Carpenter series, best known for it's light hearted love of dogs. While I have enjoyed that very much, when you want a more intense & exciting story, you must read this one. It's complete surprise ...
