The Sleeping Beauty Killer - Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke
She read
OK, if you've read my previous comments, you know that I read Mary Higgins Clark out of sentimentality....my mother really enjoyed her books and I stick with them in her memory. This is the third in the Under Suspicion mysteries written with Alafair Burke and although I knew (even though I never try to guess...guess I've read too many of her books!) the killer VERY early on, I thought this was the best of the series. Despite the formulaic quality of the book, and because it is a quick read, I had difficulty putting it down until it was finished. There's just something about MHC.......

Turbo Twenty-Three - Janet Evanovich
Turbo Twenty-Three - Janet Evanovich
She read.
Yes, the Stephanie Plum novels are silly, but I really enjoy them. The ridiculous situations and the colorful characters are all very entertaining. Maybe it's the Jersey setting/jokes/lifestyle that gets to me as I haven't really liked Evanovich's other works. But the Stephanie Plum series is fun. Yes, the characters are predictable, but I expect them to be. Yes, the relationships don't progress, but, really, they are living in Trenton!!!! A quick, amusing read and I look forward to the next in the series. I almost don't care about the plot...its the characters I enjoy.

No Man's Land - David Baldacci
No Man's Land - David Baldacci
He and she read
The fourth in the John Puller, novels, you don't have to have read the prior ones, but it will fill in some background on the characters as there are references to their pasts. A quick read. I find Baldacci easy reading and if you enjoy him, you will probably enjoy this. We didn't particularly as some of the story elements were a bit far fetched. But, if you don't mind suspending credibility, go for it.

Redemption Road - John Hart
Redemption Road - John Hart
He Read
He thought it was an OK read with some twists and turns.
From GoodReads:
A boy with a gun waits for the man who killed his mother.
A troubled detective confronts her past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting.
After thirteen years in prison, a good cop walks free. But for how long?
And deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, the unthinkable has just happened…
This is a town on the brink. This is a road with no mercy.

Precious and Grace - Alexander McCall Smith
Precious and Grace - Alexander McCall Smith
She read
If you enjoy the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, you will enjoy this one, the 17th. Light reading, simple lives, but deep philosophical thoughts. It almost doesn't matter what the plot is, for the joy of these novels are the interactions between and musings of the by now very familiar main characters.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye - Michael Connelly
The Wrong Side of Goodbye - Michael Connelly
He and She read
Another of Connelly's Harry Bosch (with an appearance of "The Lincoln Lawyer", Mickey Haller) mysteries. I am a fan of Connelly's and especially his Bosch series. A good story that made we want to keep reading long into the night. Not Connelly's best, but I enjoyed it. One of the list of prolific mystery/legal thriller writers, Connelly didn't disappoint in this one as some of the others have recently. So glad that Harry's career isn't over yet!

The Whistler - John Grisham
The Whistler - John Grisham
She read; he is reading next
Old fashioned Grisham legal investigative "procedural". A decent read....but not quite a thriller. The action moved along, though. Spoiler alert: don't expect any twists and turns!
