I ordered a book that was supposed to be in good condition. I was very disappointed when it arrived. It was soiled, some of the pages stuck together, the spine broken and pages loose. It even...
If you want the gist of the books these are the way to go considering they are an ABRIDGED copy. The reader Lori Petty does an alright job. unfourtnaly I would recommend the unabridged read by...
While this is written in the same genre as her numbered series, I always find her "in-between" work a bit disappointing. I don't laugh as often as I do with her Numbers novels. I have come to...
I couldn't even read the first chapter of this. The first few (up until about 10) Stephanie Plum books were good and I enjoyed Love Overboard, but I think the author is trying to revitalize her...
This is the4th time you have had me submit a review onthis same item. Don't ask again !!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a great book, lots of fuyn and laugh out loud lines I would recommend this...
All of the remarks in other reviews are accurate for this book, as well as most of the last 5 or 6 books. But, as it appears that an additional book, "The Cat Who Smelled Smoke", may not be...
As anyone who has ever loved a cat knows someday that little puff of fluff who steals your heart will someday no longer be the sleek and agile athlete that delights you with crazy acrobatics. All...
The latest book in the Cat Who... series is entertaining as previous books in the series but leaves more questions than answers. Would have liked more definitive conclusions to several of the...
I found these stories lacking. My sister has the unabridged version and she says they are much better. My advise is to be careful and buy only unabridged versions.
I didn't listen to the book because it was abridged. I detest abridged books so I gave it away. Next time I will be more careful about what I buy, and examine the fine print before purchasing.
Spenser takes on two cases in "Hush Money," both as favors and both free. First Hawk comes to him with a request to help out a man named Robinson Nevins, who believes he was denied tenure...
In this one, Spenser undergoes a thorough study of his homoerotic relationship with Hawk, while girlfriend Susan tries to resolve her electra complex. Meanwhile, Spenser is worrying about his...
It's Christmas in New York. Eve is struggling to face the fact that for the first time ever, she has people she cares about--and that means people she needs to shop for. And she hates shopping. To...
This has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. I enjoy all types of books and was looking for something light and entertaining as a break from heavier reading. The characters were totally...
After I read Alexander Mccall Smith's very funny Op-Ed piece "The Really Terrible Orchestra" in the NY Times, I decided to try one of his books. In the Company of Cheerful Ladies (No.1 Ladies...
I got several recommendations on Smith's series about the female detectives of Botswana, Precious Ramotswe and Mma Matuska, and I directed my wife, who likes mysteries more than I do, to this book....
Gave this BBC radio set as a Christmas present to a visually impared person. Have heard part of it myself and it is extremely well done. As is not usual, there is a full cast of readers. There...
I love the BBC Sherlock Holmes CDs. The product arrived damaged. I find it impossible to talk to someone at Amazon to return the item. I would still like to return the item for an undamaged set.
Like all the other 'Ladies' Detective Agency' books, it is a fun, easy read, that gives a glimpse into another country's cultures & traditions, and like the others, it is CHARMING. This series is...
I read this for a book club selection. Unfortunately probably the best I could say is that it is generally a feel good book, and since we had traveled there, it was remotely interesting because of...
What I love about these books is the immersion into the Botswana way of life from the Botswana point of view. McCall Smith not only visited Botswana, he lived there for some time, and it shows in...
Great Series! I highly recommend the series and have to many, many people. I also recommend going in order. Go to Evanovich's site so you can see the order, as there are in between books to read...
Be careful before buying this book. I bought this bought and it was a "misprint" it included about 35 pages of another book right in the middle of this book. I contacted the author and I am very...
This was not an engrossing, cannot put it down kind of book, but it was not so awful that I could not read the entire thing either. If anything, the occurences were all too coincental to be...
Eileen Goudge wrote some great sagas in the beginning. Trail of Secrets was the book that initially hooked me. Thorns of Truth actually constituted a good sequel to Garden of Lies, and let's be...
Dead Connection is an entertaining, easy read. Detective Ellie Hachter is temporarily teamed with seasoned, maverick Dectective Flann McIlray. Flann suspects that a serial killer is using the...
The main plot seems to get out of control, and the author leaves too many unanswered questions
Over the last few years, Alafair Burke has delivered a fine series of mystery novels featuring District Attorney Samantha Kincaid. These books catapulted Burke (the daughter of bestselling author...
Read one PD James novel and you will see right away what separates the truly gifted writer from the merely entertaining. For me, mysteries are a good diversion from the cares of the day, so I tend...
I've read most of James' Dalgliesh mysteries and this was by far my least favorite. Which is not to say that it wasn't good - I have yet to read a P.D. James mystery that isn't engaging and well...
Another extremely long P D. James novel, of the sort she has been writing since A Taste for Death, with more emphasis on loving descriptions of room interiors and architecture than on an ingenious...
It's only fair to start this review by saying I am a big fan of the William Martin's previous books. I enjoy the romp through history, the intertwining of characters, and the suspense. Now before...
Looks like this one was thrown out in a rush. Not well edited. Quite a few plot points that are just bizarre coincidence or worthy of much more development. A lot of fundamental plot seemed...
By the time I got to page 400, I was saying to myself: "Whoa!" How much more New England history can you squeeze into a novel. This one starts with Shay's Rebellion and includes everything from...
Once again Konrath wrote an excellent Jack book. The only problem I have with these books is once I finish one I have to wait for the next one and I hate waiting!
This writing is the equivalent of McDonalds or candy, lightweight and enjoyable if you dont expect too much. Many of the situations are just too unbelievable and stretch things way too far,...
The third in the series, Rusty Nail is a bad, thoroughly gory rehash of the first novel in which hero Jack Daniels tracks down a serial killer named Kork. Jack's life is unbelievably pathetic this...
The Readerzhe Voishe Drivezh Me Crazhey (audiobook)
OK, Renee Raudman can say her s's, she is capable, doesn't have a speech impediment. At the beginning and during the interesting parts, she speaks just like anyone else. But eventually she starts...
Lethally Blond by Kate White was a fun audio book to listen to. It took me a little longer to finish than I anticipated, and that was because some parts dragged a bit so it took my longer to get...
I have read other novels by Kate White, but found this one very hard to read. It's not that I mind when the characters talk out problems they are faced with. Except when this occurs throughout...

Having never before read anything by this author, I picked up Slipknot at the library, impressed by the dustjacket reviews of her earlier works. Evidently those were nonfiction, and I am hoping and...
Rosalyn Landor's TV credits and narrative skills enhance this story of Ismay, who recalls the day her stepfather is discovered dead in the bathtub and lives a nightmare nine years later, still in...
I am not sure what to think of this book. It being written by Ruth Rendell, I expected a mystery, but it really is more of a story about relationships. There is a mystery, but it is secondary and...
When I first started reading this book, I wondered why Ruth Rendell didn't publish this under her pseudonym Barbara Vine, which is reserved for her best and most complex psychological dramas. By...
