Disappearing hospital patients, exploding cars, hot guys, a tiki god, and plenty of junk food. Who could ask for more??

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult

librarilyn, April 4, 2012

Euthanasia is always a hot-button topic. In this tale of a man teetering on the brink of death Picoult provides the reader with the back-story and feelings of each family member as they deal with the situation. Luke, the character around whom the story revolves lies in a coma so while there is no present tense for him, the story of his past, living in a wolf pack was the most compelling part of the book for me. Lots of fascinating information, well told.

The Secret Lives of Wives: Women Share What It Really Takes to Stay Married by Iris Krasnow

librarilyn, April 3, 2012

Wow. Who knew so much was going on behind the scenes in other peoples' marriages? The author feels that, barring extreme circumstances, it is best to stay in a long term marriage and work out, or step around, whatever problems there may be. She also says that whatever it takes to make a marriage work is the right thing - be it an affair, swinging, separate vacations or anything else the two parties involved might agree to (or not exactly know about, as the case may be). Some interesting interviews, to be sure.

Cat's Claw by Susan Wittig Albert

librarilyn, March 16, 2012

A suicide- or is it a murder? gets Chief Sheila Dawson involved in a case with elements of blackmail, gossip, herbs, little old ladies and a mountain lion. Less China Bayles, more Sheila Dawson, still a fun read.

V Is for Vengeance (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) by Sue Grafton

librarilyn, January 17, 2012

Sue Grafton is not just an author, she is a craftsman which, perhaps, explains why we must wait so long for each installment in this series. Each one is worth the wait. Kinsey sees a woman shop-lifting lingerie and reports her. This seemingly innocuous act sets in motion a chain of events which none of those involved saw coming. Told from various points of view, the reader is given a glimpse into not only Kinsey's life but into other characters who are not so directly involved. An interesting and informative look at the high-stakes business that shoplifting can be.
