I loved the books in the beginning better then the later ones. When I read 13 I thought to myself "How I have missed these characters" I still enjoy the characters but was a little tired of the reality game going on in this book. Not the best in the series but if you've read this far into it , you know you will continue.

Frankly I had begun to lose some interest in the Elvis Cole series as of late. I thought the last books focus on Joe Pike as the main character didn't work and I was wondering if maybe Mr. Crais had run out of ideas for his signature character. This book restored my faith as it is one of the better books in the entire series. The plot moves fast and the twists are solid. This is a quick read but nothing feels rushed as there are some nice character moments and insights into Cole's pyche. If your a fan of the series this is a must buy.

(3.5 stars) Following the decimation of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, described in James Lee Burke's last novel, The Tin Roof Blowdown (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries), long-time New Iberia Parish detective Dave Robicheaux has accepted an invitation to recover emotionally on a ranch in western Montana. Robicheaux's long-time buddy Clete Purcell, who accompanies him, has not even started to recover. For Purcell, "the booze he drank and the weed he smoked and the pills he dropped didn't work anymore," and Robicheaux is desperately afraid for his friend.

Within days of their arrival in Montana, the past catches up with them. Clete Purcell runs afoul of two thugs, one of whom once worked for a Nevada gangster who was killed with his entourage when their small plane crashed in the mountains. ... Read More

Lucas Davenport investigates the disappearence of a young woman (suspected of being murdered) and some murdered young people who are involved in the Goth ( Adam's Family)fashion style. The murderers appear to be one thing but are in fact something entirely different. Think schizophrenia. Davenport is also doing surveillance on the sexy wife of a lowlife criminal. There is some fun in that too.This is a interesting story with many surprizes and is fun.

I'm a big Lynley fan, and I'm about a third of the way through Careless in Red. So far, it's a big disappointment. The premise of Lynley hiking along the desolate coast weighted down in grief was very promising. So far, though, he has played a miniscule part, and the other characters are not very engaging. I keep waiting to get some information about the murder victim that will make me care about finding his killer, but that hasn't happened yet, and his family is very unpleasant. Other good reviews I've read will keep me reading for a while - maybe it will pick up.

The murder happened in 1962. On April fourth of that year in Watertown, Massachusetts, Janie Brolin was killed. Janie was blind and spending a year in the United States away from her home in Great Britain. It was never solved and District Attorney Monique Lamont has decided Massachusetts State Police Investigator Win Gerano is going to solve it. He should want to. After all, she believes that the case was the first murder committed by the notorious Boston strangler.

She sees the case as a "drama" to be played out in the media and ultimately solved because she made it happen. Not only will solving the case be a huge media public relations event for her, it will be a slap in the face of local law enforcement in the area that has formed an organization called "Front." The acronym stands for "Friends, Resources, ... Read More

What initially got me hooked on Stephanie Plum's novels was Grandma Mazur - she is a hoot! I found myself laughing uncontrollably more than once and there are very few books I can say this about.
This book is short and funny and a perfect way to while away a summer afternoon. But I have to warn you there is very little of Morelli and the Rangerman...can't have it all!

You don't have to be a fan of Deborah Crombie, or have followed the Kincaid/James series to thoroughly enjoy this book. Of course, as a fan of the author AND someone who loves the series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Where Memories Lie is one of the best in the series. Crombie stays true to her characters, respects her readers, and delivers a solid story. Gemma takes the lead in this book, as she tries to deal with all of the facets of her life - her relationship with a friend and neighbor in need, finding her footing in her relationship with her own parents as she forges more of a relationship with Kit, and finally deciding on what her future with Duncan will be. All of this unfolds as she is embroiled in a murder which gives her the opportunity to work with Duncan again. There is so much detail in the writing that ... Read More
