I enjoy all three. However, the two that I would recommend reading would be Spilled Blood and Frantic.

I just read "Split Second". Following is my review:

“Split Second” by David Baldacci was the #1 bestseller according to New York Times, as well it should have been. This first installment of the explosive team, King and Maxwell, starts at the moment when the two meet. From this instant on, the ex-Secret Service agent, King, and the somewhat tarnished agent, Maxwell, are thrown together in the most dangerous of situations. The mystery that they are trying to untangle is, from the very beginning, baffling. To make matters worse, as soon as they unweave one strand of the puzzle, ten more are added. Like a snowball rolling downhill, King and Maxwell are confronted with a chilling dilemma, the solution of which not even the reader could fathom. It is a surprisingly confusing web brought on by a love story that is described as being “a sick, twisted version of [love]”. The reader finds that King and Maxwell “move at the speed of light” to find a mad man and thwart another of his murderous schemes.
As I found Mr. Baldacci’s book a delight to read, I gave it five out of five stars. His mesmerizing style kept me jumping from one suspect to another until the very end, when it all becomes clear. I found myself asking, “Why didn’t I think of that?” “For a moment there I thought the fairy-tale ending would actually happen”, but I was wrong…or was I? When Sean King lost that “specter of guilt that had haunted him” for years, Michelle Maxwell says to him, “You can rebuild [your life], better than before”, leaving it wide open for their next action-packed case together. That installment of this wonderful series is patiently waiting for me to crack the spine.

Phill Featherstone (phillf) Phill Featherstone My July blog is at https://phillfeatherstone.net/news/?p.... It's not a review, it's part of a series I'm doing on being an independent writer and self publisher. This one is about Agents. You can also see it on my Goodreads and Amazon author pages.

I just finished My Angel in Heaven: A Mother's Journey through Death and Grief to Comfort and Hope by Rebecca Vijay . It was a very short book (75 pages). I know that the books that are included in this club are to be at least 120 pages, but I thought that this was worth a mention.

This is a poignant journey of a woman's ultimate grief at having lost her newborn son. The story tore at my heart and, more than once, I felt my eyes well up with tears. Then I felt the joy of Ms. Vijay's faith that God would rejoin them in heaven. I felt the powerful strength that Rebecca showed throughout this book, and I'm so grateful that she share this very personal part of her life with us.
I am proud to say that I am a *virtual* acquaintance of Rebecca's.

Just finished the first of the series Women's Murder Club. Here is my review:

Great book! The first book of the "Women's Murderer Club", by James Patterson, entitled "The First to Die, is staged in San Francisco. It has as its main characters, Lindsay, the tough cop, her best friend and ME, Claire, the reporter, Cindy and the D.A., Lynne. These four women make up the Murder Club. Together, they solve a murder case in which the killer murders couples right after they exchange vows and rings. This book has more twists and turns than Lombard Street. Kudos, once again, to Patterson for another nail-biting thriller! I highly recommend this book and give it 5 stars.

I loved this book!

Dead Wrong is the first of a series of cozy mysteries written by Leighann Dobbs. It started with the murder of a despicable women who no one in the small town of Noquitt, Maine could stand. The prime suspect is Morgan Blackmoore, one of four sisters. When the sisters try a little sleuthing on their own, they meet with nothing but troubles, until a handsome deputy comes to their rescue and uses his professional detecting training to help the girls.

Dead Wrong is a fast read, as well as a charming story. I love the characters and will continue the series to find out what trouble the girls get into next.
