Reviewing I know a Secret

I Know a Secret is the 12th and so far final book in Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles series. I have now read all 12 books in the series. I Know a Secret left me hoping it’s not the last of the series.

Reviewing Die Again

Die Again is the eleventh book in Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles series. I have read and enjoyed each of the first eleven books in the series, but Die Again was one of my favorite.

Reviewing Personal Injuries

Personal Injuries is another look at the legal system written by Scott Turow. After reading Personal Injuries, I discovered it was Time Magazine’s fiction book for the year of 1999. While I liked Personal Injuries, I can’t imagine thinking it was the best fiction book of an entire year.

Reviewing a Noise Downstairs

A Noise Downstairs is a thriller by Linwood Barclay. As a fan of Barclay’s writing, I was looking forward to A Noise Downstairs. While the ending wasn’t at all believable–especially since it wasn’t well explained–I really enjoyed the story.

Reviewing True Flag

Stephen Kinzer’s True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the birth of American Empire is an important examination of another portion of American history too few Americans understand. Specifically, the book looks at the discussion of American imperialism that took place during and after the War of 1898. The book uses the experiences and words… Continue reading Reviewing True Flag

Reviewing Contagion

Robin Cook’s Contagion is the second of the Jack Stapleton & Lauri Montgomery series. As someone who likes medical mysteries, I’m enjoying the Stapleton & Montgomery series. I wish I started reading them years earlier.
