I will never tire of Stephanie Plum’s adventures and this one from Janet Evanovich is exceptionally funny.
The Gift of Fear
This is an important book—how to trust your intuition, banish your senseless fear and own your justified fear. Spot the danger signals and develop the survival skills you need to protect yourself from violence.
Till We Have Faces
I had not read this book for decades and wanted to know if I’d love it as much this many years later. I do. Maybe even more.
I Know This Much is True
The intense struggles of a man trying to find his individual identity are complicated by his twin, a paranoid schizophrenic. A long book but worth every single well-written page.
Stolen Innocence
From her personal experience of being raised in the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints breakaway sect, Elissa Wall documents the personal pain of a world ruled by Warren Jeffs. Mind-boggling. The parallels to the Taliban in Afghanistan will take your breath away.
A Cold Dark Place
The answers to a family’s murder seem obvious until Olsen twists the tale in unexpected directions. Grab on tight—this book takes you for a ride.
Free Fall
I love Elvis Cole and his sidekick Joe Pike. Their adventures have never been more riveting than when the take on the Los Angeles Police Department in this 15-year-old novel.
Kidnapped
News reporter Irene Kelly is one of my favorite characters. In this novel, she untangles the past and the present and puts herself at risk—once again.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
I don’t know how I managed to miss reading this incredible classic crime novel but I am delighted that I finally did. Patricia Highsmith elicits menace very well.
Sacred Cows
I can’t wait to read more of Karen E. Olsen. One minute she has you gasping with fear, the next howling with laughter. What a terrific read!
Collision
I thought Jeff Abbott reached his pinnacle with PANIC. Boy, was I wrong—he outdoes himself with this book. This is a masterful thriller—you gotta read it.
