 | Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner Kimberly Quinn is an FBI agent who loves her job. Her husband Mac is also an agent, for the GBI. As Kimberly gets involved in a case with a man who kidnaps and murders prostitutes and young boys. I had a difficult time getting through this book. The content (sexual abuse of young boys) deeply disturbed me. It was ok. |
 | A Cedar Cove Christmas by Debbie Macomber This is a holiday installment in the Cedar Cove series. Mary Jo Wyse is pregnant by David Rhoades (son of Ben and Charlotte). After inital support of the pregnancy, David stops communicating with Mary Jo. On Christmas Eve, just two weeks before her due date, Mary Jo ventures to Cedar Cove so she can try to speak with David -- or at least tell his family about the baby. This heartwarming book is perfect for Christmas and a nice, quick read. |
 | A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas Hannah Anderson is the cousin and helpmaid to Lady Natalie Anderson. Lady Natalie is to marry American rake Rafe Bowman. That is, until true love is found in other places. This was a lovely story, timed perfectly for the Christmas season. |
 | Divine Justice by David Baldacci From Publisher's Weekly: Near the start of bestseller Baldacci's less than compelling fourth Camel Club thriller (after Stone Cold), former CIA assassin Oliver Stone (aka John Carr) boards a New Orleans–bound train at Washington's Union Station after shooting to death a well-known U.S. senator and the nation's intelligence chief, the two men responsible for his wife's murder. Ever the Good Samaritan, Stone intervenes in a fight on the train, but when the Amtrak conductor asks to see his ID, he gets off at the next station, knowing his fake ID won't withstand scrutiny. So much for Stone's vaunted ability as a resourceful planner. This sudden detour takes Stone to Divine, Va., a mining town where he becomes enmeshed in corruption and intrigue—and falls, in just one of several clichéd situations, for an attractive if beleaguered widow. |

 | Shooting Star: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery by Cynthia Riggs From Booklist: "This lightly plotted mystery is full of the flora, fauna, and aroma of Martha's Vineyard. The owlish Victoria Trumbull, poet, police deputy, and playwright at age 92, is horrified when her version of Frankenstein, written for the local community theater, turns from social commentary to farce--and cast members keep dying. Everyone is depicted in colorful broad strokes--drunken director, amiable local police, bright-eyed teens--and Victoria manages to feed and house most of them as well as solve mayhem and heartbreak. A lot about the joys of community theater is tucked in among the soup, rescued puppies, and ugly divorces." A nice easy read. Victoria is a bit unbelievable, but how you'd like your grandmother to be. |
 | The Bodies Left Behind by Jeffery Deaver From Amazon: "An off-duty cop who investigates an aborted 911 call from a secluded vacation home and ends up on the run. From the opening scene (that'll keep even the bravest of you at home with the doors locked and the shades drawn), Deaver delivers a clever page-turner that reads like one of his tightly plotted and fast-paced short stories (fans should check out Twisted). Endlessly surprising (there is more than one jaw-dropping plot twist) and supremely gripping (two hours after cracking this stand-alone thriller, I came up for air and took a moment to shake the cramp out of my fingers), The Bodies Left Behind is one of the most entertaining thrillers of the year. --Daphne Durham" I thought this was ok. The story could have been developed better and the end was very disappointing. |
Happy Reading!
