_Executive Privilege_ by Philip Margolin. I don't know--something was just off with this one. A little to easy to predict, a little too much brilliance on the part of the good guys, something. Maybe it was that only one major character is being severely menaced when, with the setup, you'd expect all of them to.
_Alanna: The First ...

_Turn Coat_ by Jim
Butcher. Almost caught up on Dresden. I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it
again--Jim Butcher can turn some nice phrases and pop out with some lovely,
deep observation in the middle of Harry's smart-mouthed dialog.
_Look Again_ by Lisa
Scottoline. Truly frightening premise: What would you do if you had a ...
-
_Stalking the Angel_ by
Robert Crais. Clearly an earlier Elvis Cole book, since Joe Pike occassionally
uses an unnecessary word or two. Good and sad, funny and violent, flip and
thoughtful.
_The Oxford Murders_ by
Guillermo Martínez, one of the millions of books about mathematician sleuths
and the huge sub-genre of them written in the ...
-
_The Great
Starship Race_ by Diane Carey. Sometimes you just need to go back to
your youth. Would have made a fun Star Trek episode.
_Booked to Die_ by John Dunning. A
mystery (that turned out to be a significantly collectible book) about
significantly collectible books. Let's just say that for someone who
loves books and ...
-
_The Club Dumas_ by
Pérez-Reverte. Very entertaining but it's been thirty years since I ripped
through basic Dumas and some if it's kind of hazy. Seeing _The Ninth Gate_
(based on this book) is more recent, but probably just as hazy because it was
plain bad...
finished (okay, a while ago) _The
Shadow of the North_ by, yep, Philip ...

_The Subtle Knife_ by Philip
Pullman, _Queen of Babble_ by Meg Cabot, _Sector General_ by James White and
_Speak of the Devil_ by Richard Hawke. My brain is soooo confused by the mix of
genres.
_The Golden Compass_ by Phillip
Pullman. Nice audio version by Bruce Coville's crew. He has done a good work
with his "Words Take ...
-
_Once Upon a Time in the North_
by Phillip Pullman. I'm thinking a revisit to _His Dark Materials_ may be
called for. Or at least a reading of Book 2 of "Paradise Lost"
_A Plague of Secrets_ by John
Lescroart. Is it me, or is Dismas Hardy getting more Perry Mason with each
outing? And Wyatt Hunt revealing Paul Drake's secret ...
-
_The Book Of Three_ by Lloyd
Alexander. Now I see why my sister and mom liked it so much back in the day.
Working at a client site some ways away means I have more audiobook time in the
car, so maybe I'll finish listening to the series by time they are due back to
the library.
_World War I: The "Great
War"_ from the Teaching ...
