Tess Gerritsen’s Body Double is book three in the Rizzoli & Isles series. I have read the first four books of the series (I read three and four out of order). So far, Body Double is easily my favorite book in the series. I have enjoyed all four books, but Body Double is simply outstanding.

Reviewing a Spark of Light
Jodi Picoult’s A Spark of Light is one of the most thought-provoking novels I have ever read. She takes on the controversial issue of abortion and does a masterful job illustrating things that commonly lead to abortion, reasons why some protest the right to abortions, and how government can become a huge problem in the… Continue reading Reviewing a Spark of Light
Reviewing John Grisham’s The Reckoning
John Grisham’s The Reckoning is a good look at racism, sexism, patriarchy, and different views of honor. If you like legal stories The Reckoning will leave you entertained and have you guessing.
Reviewing the Fifth Risk

Still, New Confessions of… Continue reading Reviewing the New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Reviewing Confessions of an Economic Hitman
John Perkins’s Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is one of the most important books I have ever read. As an American who cares about people in other countries, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man was an infuriating read. The book is an excellent example of exactly how much America’s foreign policy has been designed… Continue reading Reviewing Confessions of an Economic Hitman
Reviewing American Prison
American Prison by Shane Bauer tells the story of a journalist who worked undercover in a private prison.
Reviewing Lee Child’s Past Tense
Lee Child’s Past Tense is the latest in the Jack Reacher series. I have read and enjoyed all of the Reacher books, but this is the best one in years.
Reviewing Gary Pomerantz’s The Last Pass
Gary Pomerantz’s The Last Pass is an interesting read about racism, friendship, and mortality. Told largely through the historic run of the Boston Celtics of the ’50s and ’60s, The last pass focuses on the relationship between Bob Cousy and Bill Russel. As a Celtics fan from Boston who appreciates history and acknowledges the terrible… Continue reading Reviewing Gary Pomerantz’s The Last Pass
Reviewing Brad Parks’s Say Nothing
Say Nothing by Brad Parks was a thoughtful thriller. My guesses at the ending weren’t even close to accurate until the book almost ended.
