May reading

PJ Tracy, Dead Run
Wow. Oh wow. They've outdone themselves with this one. The suspense is cranked high on this one.

Stephen White, Cold Case
Had read a few of these back in 1997, now am catching up. Interesting plot and characters.

John Sandford, Broken Prey
I'll never get sick of Lucas Davenport. In this one, Lucas is off on the trail of a serial killer, but nothing is as it seems. Excellent scattering of red herrings keep the reader on his/her toes. This one also features a great subplot about the greatest 100 rock songs of all time - Lucas got an ipod and a gift certificate for 100 songs as a birthday present from Weather, and so he sets out to choose the best 100 songs, Beatles excluded. It's a stitch.

Stephen White, The Program
Dr. Alan Gregory takes on a patient who is in the witness protection program. Twisty plot.

PJ Parrish, A Killing Rain
Latest Louis Kincaid, pretty average, these used to be better.

Stephen White, Warning Signs
Another outing with the doc and the crew.

Nancy Geary, Regrets Only
Regrets that I bothered to finish this one. I nearly threw it back in the library bag several times but was a glutton for punishment and finished it.

Martha Grimes, The Man with a Load of Mischief
The first Richard Jury - somehow have never read any in this series. How is that possible? Very entertaining.

Martha Grimes, The Old Fox Deceiv'd
Jury and Plant return for more hijinks.

Harlan Coben, The Innocent
Another suspenseful standalone from him. A real nail-biter, this one.

Stephen White, The Best Revenge
Dr. Gregory is requiring a bit too much suspension of disbelief in this tale of revenge and retribution, although the layers of righteousness and irony are well done.

Earlene Fowler, Delectable Mountains
Latest Benni Harper. These are still enjoyable, but a bit too churchy/preachy for me.

Stephen White, Blinded
A former patient returns and drags Alan into another wild case.

Stephen White, Missing Persons
Alan gets involved in a case with shades of JonBenet all over it. After moaning for so many books about "that case," I was disappointed to find this one so closely tied to it.
