My Year with Eleanor by Noelle Hancock
Liked this saga of the author’s year of living each day using Eleanor Roosevelt’s advice to “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Her daring tales of swimming with sharks, trapeze school and climbing mountains, and her admiration of Eleanor was m...more
The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
Not a Sherlock Holmes expert, but thought this struck the right tone, created an authentic atmosphere and was a convincing mystery. Liked the story, but I am just such a fan of the Laurie King Holmes series that this wasn’t as much fun for me.
Bootlegger's Daughter by Margaret Maron

Redshirts by John Scalzi
Redshirts
by John Scalzi (Goodreads Author)
This was just so fun if you like sci fi TV because you’ll understand right away who the Redshirts are and why you never want to be one. The initial set-up is the best part, it is harder to sustain the joke/suspense as the story moves on, but I still...more
Ghostman by Roger Hobbs
A ghostman is the guy (or girl) who comes in to clean up a crime scene and you never know he was there. Actually you never know where he is at all, because he buys cell phones by the hundreds and throws them away after one use. That’s an important th...more
