Currently Reading? Just Finished?

i agree about one breath away-very fast paced read with interesting characters


Zero Dark Thirty."

I'm interested to see how the book compares.
I thought Jennifer Lawrence was fantastic.


Finished the book last night. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading some more in this series.



Hi Linda - I enjoyed Cutting for Stone, didn't want it to end!

I really liked that one, Charlotte. I was lucky enough to attend an author signing with Kerley at a local bookstore soon after the release of this book, and the topic of serial killer memorabilia dominated the discussion. Really fascinating. Hope you enjoy the book.

Enjoyed reading your reviews & signed up to follow your blog.

I'm about 1/2 way through The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen
This is my 2nd time through this great series.


The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
Judge & Jury
Triptych and
A Great Deliverance so I have a lot of reading to do!!!

Amazing book..I love a book that draws me in from page 1. I know that sounds hard because most causes you need to read into the chapter. This one got me right away and I could not put it down until I finished it 2 days later. I was on the edge of my seat literally waiting to see how it would end. Highly recommend a read!
They call him BoneMan, a serial killer who's abducted six young women. He's the perfect father looking for the perfect daughter, and when his victims fail to meet his lofty expectations, he kills them by breaking their bones and leaving them to die.
Intelligence officer Ryan Evans, on the other hand, has lost all hope of ever being the perfect father. His daughter and wife have written him out of their lives.
Everything changes when BoneMan takes Ryan's estranged daughter, Bethany, as his seventh victim. Ryan goes after BoneMan on his own.
But the FBI sees it differently. New evidence points to the suspicion that Ryan is BoneMan. Now the hunter is the hunted, and in the end, only one father will stand

I read a couple of the Jonathan Quinn books. I liked them, but my library is not continuing to buy the series

Now I'm reading The Blood Gospel by James Rollins. I've really enjoyed the Sigma series, but I'm also looking forward to something fresh from Rollins.


I just received the new Ian Rankin "Last Man Standing" -- the resurrection of Rebus, anxious to see how he comes back.

I might try this book, it certainly sounds good. I've never read any of his books because I thought they were all supernatural and I don't really enjoy those stories. Thanks

Now I'm on to The Night Ranger by Alex Berenson. Very good so far.


That is a great series. Her stand alones are terrific, too.


That's been on my pile for quite some time. I'll be interested to hear what you think

I've read a few in this series and really enjoyed them. Interesting character mix and view of NYC.

I've read the last couple Robotham books and for my money, nobody packs more of an emotional punch than he does. Why he is not the biggest name in mystery/thrillers right now baffles me.

That's a great question. I haven't read enough to tell, but perhaps he isn't commercial enough? With the exception of a handful of authors (in my humble opinion) most of the big names don't stand out from the crowd the way you'd expect them to. But then again, writing is very subjective, so who knows?

love Dennis Lehane. He keeps getting better!

great book!! it took me a bit to get into it, but then I became totally absorbed in it. It was definitely not a "fast" read, but I read it constantly. Wonderful story with many life lessons. I could easily read it again. One of my favorites I read last year. Keep going if you haven't become totally enthralled yet - you will!
