The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen
The Keepsake by Tess Gerritsen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I don’t know that there will ever be a book by Tess Gerritsen that I don’t truly enjoy, because this one I certainly did. While some of the more gruesome seems were a bit too much for my overactive imagination. I just love the… Continue reading

The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen
The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book took me quite a bit longer than the others in this series to read, in part because it was so rich in detail and in part because I was so fascinated by the religious history, and the mythological history in it… Continue reading

Vanish by Tess Gerritsen
Vanish by Tess Gerritsen My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is more chilling than any of the books that came before it and the crimes, so realistic, and sickening.

"A" is for Alibi by Sue Grafton
I expected to enjoy this book quite a bit more than I actually did because I had been hearing such good things about this series for so long. However I found the beginning lagged a bit but was determined to trod through it. Kinsey is an interesting character but I wish her own bitterness and… Continue reading

Darkness, Take my Hand by Dennis Lehane
Dennis Lehane is an author I can respect for more than a few reasons the least of which being that he sticks to his roots and Boston and the most being that he isn’t afraid to pull any punches. His writing is vivid, it’s gritty and at times definitely horrific but yet once I started… Continue reading
