Sandra Brown – Lethal
a complex and intriguing mystery until the book skids off into Harlequinland
George Pelecanos – The Cut – A Spero Lucas novel
cold, average-paced, sometimes raw and unpredictable thriller
Douglas Preston Lincoln Child – Cold Vengeance – A Pendergast Novel
Perhaps reading the recommended Fever Dream first would help, but this reader is not convinced.
Jack Batten – Straight No Chaser
Straight No Chaser is an okay enough read. If you like a slow build and a big finale
Michael Koryta – The Ridge
set deep in the Kentucky woods where mysterious happenings surround a misplaced lighthouse
Marcia Clark – Guilt by Association
Reasonably good first crime fiction novel.
