Sophia, Princess Among Beasts
by James Patterson and Emily Raymond

View in Library Catalog



This is  fantasy book that just did not engage me.  Over all the story isn't bad but I could not read more than a chapter or 2 at a time (and if you know James Patterson, his chapters are short).

Towards Zero
by Agatha Christie

View in Library Catalog



I listened to this as an audio book and it was performed nicely. Although there were a number of characters, or suspects, they were each clear and well developed. Both the matriarch of the family and a visiting family friend who was a judge are killed. But were both killed by the same person? And several people are clearly hiding something. As this book states, although the murder usually happens at the beginning of a story, the actual story begins long before the murder and the key to this story does lie in the past.

Leave The World Behind

I thought this book was fairly good at the beginning. It was about a couple from Brooklyn, NY who decide to rent a home in the Hamptons. along with their 2 teenagers. When they are there for one day, there is a knock on the door and a couple are there stating this is their home, and there is a major blackout in NYC where they live. There is no TV or internet and they feel safer on Long Island. Amanda and Clay don't know if they should believe them. However they do let them in. Strange things start happening. There is a loud noise and some of the glass windows have cracks. Then Archie, their son gets sick and his teeth fall out. I think it was too weird for me and I should have left it behind.

Where Are the Children?

I read this book when it first came out and decided it was worth a revisit before I read the recently released sequel.  It still holds up and makes me realize why I was always on the watch for her next book.  I can't wait to start reading the sequel.

With My Little Eye

Joshilyn Jackson does it again with this new suspenseful read. Mirabel Mills is an actress who relocates to her home state of Georgia to escape her stalker, Marker Man, in LA. While Mirabel is getting used to her new home and settling her autistic daughter into their new life, she notices a stocky man watching her from across the street. Is this the Marker Man following her? Along with her and Honors relationship with their neighbor, Cooper, more revelations are uncovered and an exciting dual conclusion ends this book on a high note. I would recommend this book.

The Only One Left
by Riley Sager

Entertaining mystery. Kept me interested throughout. Loved the many twists and turns, especially at the end. Many red herrings that I fell for hook line and sinker. Health care worker suspected of assisting her very ill mother, who was in excruciating pain, to take her own life by leaving out pills for her to take. After a suspension from her job, the only job available to her was caregiver, for a rumored murderer, who needs complete care, who lives an isolated life in a crumbling mansion on a cliff, called Hope House. What could go wrong? Plenty…

The Widower's Wife
by Cate Holahan

A woman fell off a cruise ship and disappeared. Her husband could receive a lot of insurance money. An investigator is out to prove that this was not an accident. I liked this book for the most part, but it was predictable. Some of the details were also pretty far-fetched.

STING
by Sandra Brown

View in Library Catalog



STING is one of many books by Sandra Brown. They are all similar in so far as the overall form, but each has intricate plotting and enjoyable characters. Her books all have a main couple who travel from hate to love along a very rocky road. Mystery, intrigue, misdirection, and sex accompany the story. While somewhat predictable, her stories, including this one, are very pleasant company ...
