Trouble in MindWhat could be better than one of Deaver’s amazing stories? How about a collection of twelve amazing stories; I love his short story collections almost as much as his novels. With this collection I get a bunch of different stories with Deaver’s classic twists and misdirection all in one great book. I really... Continue Reading →
The DropHarry Bosch is one of my favorite detectives. He is on the list with Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and Lincoln Rhyme. I love each character for different reasons, and I love Bosch becuase he is written in a noir style. He reminds me of Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. It has been a long time since I have read a...

The Fifth WitnessThe next book in my attempt to catch up on all of the Connelly books I have missed is The Fifth Witness. This book is a Mickey Haller story and as much as I like Connelly, I wasn’t as impressed with this one. Maybe it was because I loved The Reversal and I kept comparing... Continue Reading →
206 BonesThe first book I read by Kathy Reichs was Monday Mourning and I loved it. I can’t remember why I decided to read her for the first time but I'm so glad I did. After that book I started to buy every one of her books available in hardcover. I have had so much... Continue Reading →
The KeeperIt has almost been a year since I started blogging, and when I began I made sure to join Netgalley. I have gotten a lot of great books through them and have gone outside my comfort zone and found some authors I never would have tried otherwise. John Lescroart is one of those authors...

The ReversalMichael Connelly is one of my favorite authors. I have been a big fan of Harry Bosch almost from the beginning. I started a few books into his series but have since gone back and caught up. Now I am behind on his more recent books so I'm working on catching up. I hope to be... Continue Reading →
Die TryingThis is going to be one of those reviews that is going to be hard to write. I think I will start out with my rating, and if you really want to read while I ramble then that’s your decision. I liked this book, but I wasn’t blown away by it. I give this... Continue Reading →
The Valley of Fear This marks my 100th Post on my blog, and I can't be more proud to post my first Sherlock Holmes review here. I have written many reviews on the Conan Doyle Holmes books as well as many Pastiches on Goodreads and Amazon, but this will be the first here. If I... Continue Reading →
Garment of ShadowsI'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. Any pastiche I can get my hands on to keep the adventures of Sherlock going I will get. I had high hopes for this series, but after reading this book I am finished. I read the first book in this series, The Beekeeper's Apprentice and it... Continue Reading →
The October List I had no idea what to expect when I got this book. Of course I expected nothing less than classic Deaver twists and turns. I got all that and way more. Since I first heard about this book I had read a few descriptions, and it never registered that it was described as... Continue Reading →
