I love this series! Owen Archer is a great detective.

One of the early Richard Jury mysteries. Excellent as always.

If you like John Grisham, check out this writer.

This is a great collection of mysteries! Many classic stories and classic authors. A must-have for any mystery fan.

To quote Oliver Wood: "This is it. The big one. The one we've all been waiting for." And here it is hours away from being released! Whoooo-Hoooooooo

I don't think this should be shelved in "Erotica". It's really more humor. It's a fun book that you could read in front of your grandmother.

I enjoyed the book. It's not a page-turner, but it is interesting and well-written. I dipped into at odd moments over the course of a week instead of reading straight through.

This is the Spanish langauge version! Don't be fooled into thinking it is in English!

I wanted to like this book. And I did, I really, really did -- until maybe about page 600...... I love the three main characters but the novel devolved into an action movie or a video game. At the end of the book, I would have been fine if everyone had died. I was that tired of it. And yet, I think Dalquist is a good story teller because I did read the whole book. It just should have been better.

One of my favorite historical novels! The two women -- one white, one black -- who shaped Douglass' life finally get a chance to shine. Powerful and moving.

Wow. What an amazing piece of storytelling. Read it. Read it right now.

A good series. I enjoy historical mysteries and post WWI London is lovingly recreated. The detective is sharp and likeable and very modern in her thinking.

This is a quick read by a great writer. It has (thankfully) been years since I had to hoist a tray of fish sandwiches and coleslaw but this book brought it all back home to me -- the terror of rent day; the struggle over which bill to pay on time...... Excellent book and should be required reading for all of our college-aged kids!

Jessica is a great teacher! I'm very happy that she has another book out.

One of my favorite mystery series! Start with The Thin Woman.

One of my favorite mystery writers!

One of my favorite mystery series!

Ellie Haskell feels dumpy and unloved and wouldn't you know it she has to go to a family reunion. She hires an actor to portray her fiance. Murder and humor ensue........ Read this one first. Otherwise you'll spoil the story arc for yourself. There are not enough books in this series, so read them slowly.

Read this series! It is wonderful! But, don't start with this book -- this is the middle of the series. Start with [t]The Thin Woman[/t]. This is one of my all-time favorite mystery series. I just wish there were more. OK, really quick -- in the first book Ellie Haskell feels dumpy and unloved and wouldn't you know it she has to go to a family reunion. She hires an actor to portray her fiance. Murder and humor ensue........

If I had a dollar for every good thing I've said about [a]Sharon Kay Penman[/a], I'd be rich. If you have not read her, start here! Great historical novels. Wonderful writing.

An excellent overview of the early philosophers. Perfect as a "brainy" graduation gift. It's not dry read at all. The personalities of these thinkers comes through.

God is dead. Or sort of. And his body is brought to The Haag to stand trial. Great book. 'Nuff said.

This is an engaging book. It's similar to "Midnight" but there's an obvious reason -- same author, afterall. If you want a glimpse behind the curtain of Venice, read it. I'm glad I read the book before I visit [kw]Vencie [/kw]this summer -- I now have a better chance of not looking like a tourist!

I will never look at a corn field the same way. Most of the corn grown in this country is processed into unrecognizable bits and pieces. I think this book will be life-changing and I can only hope that it might be government policy changing as well.

My favorite Martin Amis book. A mystery from start to finish..... Who is the killer? Keith, the odds on favorite bad boy or Guy, the seemingly nice guy.
