Just read the new James Patterson/David Ellis release, "Mistress". Wow!!! I couldn't put it down. Once done, handed it to my daughter. She stayed up all night reading it. (She's married with 2 daughters and lives a mile or so from us.) This thing is chuck full of Presidential trivia and...

The latest in his 'Alex Deleware' series. Far fetched and seemed "forced". I'm beginning to believe some of these authors believe they have to get a book out in order to get the next advance from a publisher. Iris Johannsen was the same with her 'Bonnie' series. They became redundant and...

Wow! Reading Sanford's latest in his "Prey" series. This is a political crime thriller. Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal... Sanford handles today's volitile political clime well. Corruption, blackmail, political 'dirty tricks', murder... does any or all of this happen in the real...

Just read Thomas Perry's new book, "The Boyfriend". Quick moving, crime/suspense book. I enjoy this type of read, but I prefer some semblence of proofing. The author had one of the characters driving a "Toyota Maxima". The Maxima is a Nissan product, not Toyota. Careless with tiny facts...

My wife and I were blessed with three great children. Growing up, the middle child pushed every button she could. During high school, we thought we had lost her to drugs and alcohol. We would never have bet she would graduate from high school. At age 26, this troubled young lady was the...

Under the forum, Writers Room, is suggests posting stories. Yet, the posts are limited to 1,000 words. I discovered this fact, getting my hand slapped attempting to post a story containing approximately 1,500 words. Is there any means for posting our own writings or musings that exceed the...

Just read Crais' newest, "Suspect". I'm going on 70 years old and don't tear up over books of movies. Had trouble with 'misty eyes' reading this one!!! If you like police suspense thrillers... and are a dog lover... better have Kleenex handy. Awesome story of a PTSD Marine K-9 who lost her...

I suffer from entirely too much reading and not enough exercising. Haven't got involved in the e-reader world. My wife and daughter both do most of their reading on those "modern machines". My favorites are suspense thrillers... Harlan Coban, Lisa Scottoline, Vince Flynn, Steinhauer...

I never watched the "Law & Order" television series. I did pick up the recent novel by the "Law & Order" creator, Dick Wolf. The novel is "Intercept". I enjoy spy type novels, set in modern times. This novel is set in today, even mentioning the current President and First Lady. From the...

His latest, "Nearest Exit" is an excellent follow up to his "The Tourist". Both are fast reading, CIA "spook" novels. The main character is a retired CIA assassin who finds himself continuing to get involved in clandestine ops, mainly overseas. If you like these kind of novels, you'll like...
