My rating: 3 of 5 stars to Dawn Kurtagich‘s And the Trees Crept In, a suspense and horror novel that at points I wanted to give a 5, but at others, a 1. It was insanity wrapped up in a bowl of champagne (pure delight which I love) spoiled by mushroomsContinue Reading
My rating: 3+ of 5 stars to Arturo Pérez-Reverte‘s The Seville Communion, a Spanish-to-English translated thriller novel with a very intriguing story about the Catholic church, corporate corruption and love. This was a good book, and I’d recommend it to fans of the genre or of translated novels; however, itContinue Reading
My rating: 3 of 5 stars to Will Adams‘s The Eden Legacy, the fourth in his “Daniel Knox” series — and I think possibly the last one. I enjoyed this book, and the series, but I think this one was my least favorite. Story In the last book, Daniel sufferedContinue Reading

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown My rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 stars to Dan Brown‘s The Da Vinci Code. Most folks have seen the movie and probably not read the book. What a loss for them! I had never heard of Dan Brown before. I heard aboutContinue Reading
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson My rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 stars to Stieg Larsson‘s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. You heard all the hype about the author who died and his books weren’t published. You heard that they were translated into English. YouContinue Reading
Inferno by Dan Brown My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read this years ago… it’s a great story and an intense and complex read. I preferred Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code; however, this is a very close third as the concept of Dante and the fiery gatesContinue Reading
The Tombs by Clive Cussler My rating: 3 of 5 stars I became fascinated by the history of Attila the Hun. Could I be related to him too? 🙂 Gread adventure novel. Picked it up in an airport bookstore as I didn’t have anything ready at home to take withContinue Reading
