The GrownupI have really liked all the books I have read by Gillian Flynn. When I saw this was out I couldn't get my name on the list fast enough. Finally I got a chance to read this and I loved it. This is a really short story so there isn't much to talk about... Continue Reading →
The Never ListREAD THIS BOOK!!! If you read nothing more of this blog post let it be those first 3 words. I loved this book and it is killing me to have to hold back what I really want to say about this. I don't want to spoil anything about this book in case you... Continue Reading →
The Girl in the Spider's WebI loved the Millennium series when I finally got around to reading them. I read the series after the third book had already been published so I din't have to wait for the next book. Like most fans of the series I was saddened to hear that Stieg Larsson had...

The Killing LessonsI got this weird email from Goodreads one day and it said that my favorite author Jeffery Deaver enjoyed The Killing Lessons. Now I thought this was a little odd because anytime you hear someone enjoyed the killing lessons your first thought might be to buy more locks for your door, espcially if... Continue Reading →

Sole SurvivorI have to say that I am not a huge Dean Koontz fan. My wife was with his earlier work but there came a point when his books just got really weird and our interest faded. I have some of his books that I really liked, Tick Tock and Life Expectancy to name a... Continue Reading →

This is a mystery detective story but with a very interesting twist. Our main character who is a... Continue Reading →
The BoxThanks to the R.I.P. challenge and a little web search I have found another book I might have missed otherwise. I was able to get an audio version of this book and I learned one thing. I do not like short story collections in audio. Nothing against this book at all but there were... Continue Reading →
Bellman & BlackI knew very little about this book when I started it. My wife read her other book Thirteenth Tale and loved it. She still raves about how much she really enjoyed that book. I was looking for something to read for the R.I.P. challenge and this one kept popping up in the horror... Continue Reading →
Solitude CreekJeffery Deaver is one of the best writers out there. As anyone who reads my blog regularly would know he is my favorite author and I look forward to every book he writes. This book is a classic Deaver book with twists and turns around every page and plenty of suspense, but for me... Continue Reading →
