Hi Debi, thank you.. good to know that I made good choice with my purchases. I've only read 1 book by Hoag about a year ago, and found Deeper than the dead in the bookstore, and liked reading the excerpt at the back of the book so I bought it.. :)

I read that last summer and I was really surprised by the actual story versus what I thought was the story.

Lisa S wrote: "Rosabelle, I think I have The Surgeon"Hi Lisa, what did you think of The Surgeon? I have heard good reviews of Tess Geritssen books, so I thought I'd start with that one.
:) thanks Lisa.. that's great then... I don't find a lot of Gerritsen books here in my local bookshop, so I need to buy them from amazon.com. Heard that there's a new TV series based on the Gerritsen books as well. Have you seen it?
I hadn't bought books in almost a week or more and I need to cut back on spending in general but I had to finally secure my copies of the complete Sherlock Holmes works! I would love to have some vintage-looking ~special edition~ but alas on my budget the cheapest fastest copies available were what I ordered.They should be here today or by tomorrow.
