It was a pleasure to welcome Bernie Rhodenbarr back. Unlike the rest of us, he didn't age but enjoys life as a burglar while running a bookstore. His bookstore can barely survive and he's facing competition in the burglary business too. As always, I was entertained by Lawrence Block's writing with another Nero Wolfe-type ending.

This is one of those books that is so realistic it's scary. Somebody screwed up between an arrest and a trial so the perp went free. Detective Paul Friedman learned this bitter lesson with his former partner Glenn Kelley, who made a mistake during an arrest. That mistake led to freedom for a child molester and murderer, Jasper Davis. Everyone was outraged when Jasper Davis walked free. But then Officer Glenn Kelley, who was blamed for his error was abducted, maybe; and Jasper Davis' attorney who was instrumental in having him freed finds himself at the mercy of a lunatic who calls himself Justice. Will Justice prevail? Fair Play is the first book in the series by Gunnar Angel Lawrence. Detective Paul Friedman is the main character in this and the following book. Having read this book and The Perfect Day, I can attest that both are well-written, easy to read and thoroughly captivating. I will buy future books from Mr. Lawrence knowing I'm guaranteed a good read.

Another enjoyable book in the JD Robb (Nora Roberts) futuristic series with Lieutenant Eve Dallas solving murders. This was a very cold case with twelve dead bodies but one that tugged at the heartstrings of Eve Dallas and her super hot husband Roarke. Eve's sidekick Peabody is always available for common sense remarks and humor.

Henning Mankell is such a gifted writer that his genius shines through even in translations of his work from Swedish. I've followed all his Kurt Wallander series novels for years and was anxious to read the final book, The Troubled Man. The morose detective still found no joy in his life. That was no surprise. The confusing part about this story was the plot. It was all over the place - Hints and clues signifying nothing or never explained. The story left me wondering who was the troubled man, Kurt Wallander or Henning Mankell.

This is one of the most captivating books I've read in a long time. I did not expect to read it at this time, but once I glanced at it after downloading it onto my kindle I was hooked. I couldn't put the book down. There's a mystery, a bit of paranormal and love story all intertwined. Lucretia's story is unusual and told with such skill and compassion that you won't forget it.
