Sandra

Have you read Stephen White's books? They are really good.

JA Jance? She has two different series running...one set it Seattle and one set in the Southwest US. Both very good.

WEB Griffith. Not bad...

I don't care for the Tom Clancy collaboration books.

Sandra Brown is a pretty good read.

Lisa Scottoline.

There you have some ideas...

Happy reading!

All of these authors are great Cheryl. I would highly recommend
them all for a quick read. I think we have the same taste in books.

Cheryl and Soxmom,

I think we all have the same taste in books. I like Sandra Brown and Lisa Scottoline. Have read most of theirs.

Haven't read JA Jance or Stephen White though. Will have to pick those up. Thanks for the info on them!!

has anyone read the yada yada prayer group series by neta jackson?

i found a few of the books at goodwill this weekend for 50c each. i'm going to look at half price books for the others. i thought they might be more mood lifting than some of the other type i have been reading lately.

Hey Yappy - not familiar with those books!

I just finished Vince Flynn's Consent to Kill. Great book! Starting Patricia Cornwell's Book of the Dead now. I've got two very long flights this week so I will have some good reading time... or sleep time!

Hi everybody, I'm in the middle of Gulliver's Travels and I'm trying to figure out what the drug of choice was in that pocket of history. I'm thinking some serious morphine laced with opium and dipped in acid!

lil'monkey found books 1 and 2 at half price books yesterday. i'm going to start reading them this weekend. they told her as soon as they get a copy in..it's gone, so they must be popular.

you might be onto something cindy.

i'm just finishing the pied piper by ridley pearson. he uses the same characters.

I didn't know this was here... being the introvert, and not too terribly social
person that I am!

So I will say...Yes.
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series is just excellent. My husband and I have read them all now. They are simple and wonderful.

Right now I am devouring Jonathan Kellerman's books. Luckily our library has most of them.
His main character is Dr. Alex Delaware..psychologist...who gets involved with his best friend, Milo... a police detective, into many complex situations, that are carefully explored psychologically, and in the end solved. Kellerman has a very nice style... he does not over write and make horrible things more horrible.
It is a rather gentle way of rousting evil. There is mystery, and human interest all blended together, and done with intelligent style.

I don't know if any Elizabeth George fans are reading here. That is my next stop, her new book.

oh man mrsd...i have all of kellerman's book...his wife's too. love'm love'm.

read them in order... or the family dynamics get out of wack. spoils that too.

added: his wife is faye kellerman.

Yes, I read all of Faye's. My husband likes her too.

I am jumping around a bit with Jonathan, but it doesn't seem to matter.
It is on again off again endlessly with Robin.

His newer books are very edgy compared to the earlier ones. I prefer the earlier ones, in fact, in style.

I like Peter Decker's daughter Cynthia, in Faye's. She is quite interesting, and a change of pace.Rina doesn't really pan out over time, in that series..and that is a bit disappointing. Except in the book where that psycho guy hits on her...that one had a bit more substance. ( the sequel to Justice...Stone Kiss).

I just love the way Jonathan writes...so simply...so powerfully.
