Moral Defense - Marcia Clark
She read
The second in the Samantha Brinkman series, it is the first one that I have read. I didn't feel I missed anything by not reading the first book in the series as the repeating characters backgrounds and personalities were filled in pretty well. The action moved along, with twists and turns as more and more of the plot was revealed. The story's action and characters were easy to follow. I probably will not seek out additional titles in this series as I didn't particularly like Samantha nor her freewheeling, personal forms of justice. I felt that as an attorney, she was almost as scary as the guilty parties introduced.

He is a big fan of Richard Russo and enjoyed this sequel to Nobody's Fool. Russo has a great grasp of small town living and conveys it well in his writing.

The Sleeping Beauty Killer - Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke
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.
