etc. (15), Snow (5), bla (4), Wow (3), good characters (3), characters (3), friends (2), as usual (2), Weather (2), Okay (2), Fun (2), Very good (2), A little soapy (2), Oh (2), Soapy (2), Exciting (2), e.g. (2), like I said (2), so almost knocked the rating down to a three. But I know I'll remember it (2), Three and a half stars (2), Kidnapped baby. (2), A good (2), etc. That is all it is. I guess the climax was when stupid Kate slept with her black neighbor (2), poor (2), and Simon is dreading the honeymoon (ha ha). (2), but as usual (2), same old (2), As I've said (2), Minnesota (2), Emma (2), memories (2), though (2), As usual (2), murder (2), Actually (2), Mike (2), cool (2), siblings (2), rich (2), I didn't finish this well-written book. I liked some things (1), so they throw him in a lake. The book deals with their reaction to this cowardly deed. (1), are connected to a client of hers. It turns out he is a twin. Frieda helps the police figure things out. (1), separated by 20 years (1), Apparently this is the first of the Dr Frieda Klein stories. She's an interesting person. 2 missing children (1), I like this series and author (1), and it just wasn't enough for me. A very drunk Vietnamese teen dies on the way home from a party. 3 friends don't know what to do with him (1), but this was more like a short story (1), Ugh; too simplistic. I'm glad I stopped about 1/3 of the way through. (1), There was a lot of hype about this being very good (1), I read this before (1), but I'm too burnt out with the basic Sherlock Holmes. It was good though. (1), but apparently did not record it. Good author. (1), and strangely (1), but it wasn't that interesting (1), nor did it "ring true" in many ways. Basically (1), an 11-year old boy is kidnapped by a sexual predator and kept for 4 years. He was actually in a nearby town (1), and finally someone recognized his photo from a flyer. He adjusts very well to returning (1), is a journal a mother keeps about her particularly difficult son. That part was written exceptionally well (1), his family doesn't ask any questions. Yes (1), there is being sensitive and correct in not pestering him (1), but isn't that a bit ridiculous? Oh well. Daddy Love (1), by Joyce Carol Oates handled the subject more viscerally and true. (1), This was a different type of Stephen King novel (1), more like a straightforward detective story. Mr Mercedes (1), a nutty guy (1), This Thora series is very good. We are in Iceland (1), investigate. Meanwhile a ghost is haunting a nice family. (1), This was pretty satisfying as far as atmosphere and characters. The only thing I didn't like was the serial killer aspect. (1), and so was very spooky. (1), This was a dark book! Not for pregnant women to read! Basically it's about some anti-social (1), yada. Part of the book (1), but it was quite decent. The idea was based on a real life case in Baltimore. A quasi-criminal big shot disappears before his sentencing (1), and his newly hired temporary secretary. They continued to be the only reason to keep reading (1), and I liked them all the way through. The story was about a beautiful London model who has died from a fall. Was it suicide or murder? It seems the story was overly complicated (1), and filled with people I didn't care much about. (1), this book was hyped as "better than ...Gone Girl (1), " and that affects my expectations. It was definitely good (1), and some parts were quite deep (1), like when the guy dies. The two main characters were very interesting on their own (1), then the author throws in some curve balls (1), like making the guy a serial cheater (1), and the woman (1), is quietly vindictive. I won't be forgetting this any time soon. (1), A "Gaslight" type of killing of an unhappy woman is the main focus of Inspector Erlendur. He also traces a couple of disappearances that happened many years ago. He continues thinking about the disappearance of his own brother during the blizzard. (1), I thought this would be fluff (1), leaving his beloved wife (1), her other grandfather was a serial murder (1), and a mistress behind. The story is told from all their perspectives (1), and from a cold case detective investigating the death of the mistress. (1), This was a good idea for a story. The narrator is being held captive (1), with a hood over her head (1), etc. We spend long moments with her until an unexpected escape. Mostly people don't believe her story (that's all rather strange) (1), so she investigates herself. Part of the problem is amnesia. (1), A very easy Phillip Margolin read. I liked the fast pace (1), and the way the author didn't bog us down in stupid mistakes. There was a side story about a missing Asian art piece that was boring. Dana Cutler is an ex-cop (1), now a PI. She's very tough. She's accidentally involved in an interesting murder plot by a magician/lawyer. A beautiful prosecutor is murdered (1), and her rich husband is framed. (1), not that it matters. The first quarter of the book was thrilling (1), going on psychopathic people. The book is written in the first person by Lana (1), a troubled (1), but intelligent college student. Her father killed her mother (1), I thought this was written by a female (1), A pretty standard addition to this series. I wonder if the Amish hate her for making several characters throughout the series into killers. This one involves pigs mauling a couple of victims. (1), and flew by. Then a major character died. I still enjoyed the twists I knew were still coming (1), but this book went on and on. (1), This British tale mostly takes place at a lonely "glass" house in the country where several people have gathered for a bridesmaid type party. One is bent on vengeance. (1), This was a top audio book for me. Something about it's pacing (1), or maybe the story was perfect for me. A young scientist (1), visiting London crosses paths with a man who is murdered shortly after. The scientist has to hide out because he is a wanted man. (1), A very literary book (1), this took some time to get into. There was no murder (1), but suspense about how the various love affairs were going to go. Very interesting (1), and she feels her own family was pretty indifferent towards her. She is kidnapped and held by a guy who just wants to rescue her. (1), and it was pretty good. You know one of those mentally ill women who kill pregnant women to obtain their baby is on the loose (1), but you don't know who it is. The police detective couple was interesting enough. Compare it to her What You Left Behind (1), which I found poorly written as did many others. (1), This book was interesting (1), but I dropped it after a couple hundred pages. I did want to see what had happened to Jude in his childhood (1), I hope you never give me another pointless story again (1), I almost gave up on this one. The premise was a great idea for a story: a woman finds out she was adopted when her parents were murdered. She finds out what happens (1), An interesting murder victim (1), and an unusual murderer made this a good read. This is the case of the nutty heiress (1), usually stoned & drunk (1), always in conflict with someone who pushes a nice man too far at the wrong time in his life. (1), This was an audio book. Haunted house/horror is not usually my thing (1), but I could follow this story (1), and it was pretty decent. Every 9 years these psychic dead twins lure unsuspecting people to their house to suck up their souls. We get to modern times (1), and even though cell phones and computers don't play a role (1), they do in a way. (1), Didn't finish this nor Red Wolf. Both are Swedish novels (1), and I've read Marklund before (1), but both books put me off. Their social life is hard to understand (1), and neither book pleased me. (1), etc. It ended up being a decently worthwhile story. (1), which revealed what shaped her. (1), but the thrill chilled. Overall a very good read. (1), but gave up because just like the book before it (1), Such an interesting story about a dysfunctional family. The main character (1), leaves home for a while (1), but has to return to save her younger brother. It was nice and cold in Canada. (1), nor did the Napoleon plot interest me. (1), I loved the first half or so of this book. The characters were SO funny. I did not care as much for the story once we realized the oh so nice husband was a serial rapist/killer. It was done well though (1), and pretty interesting. (1), Ann Rule writes well (1), but this story wasn't that fascinating. Also (1), I think one of the murderers got away from justice. (1), I love this lawyer and the series (1), but stopped on p. 115 because I just wasn't that into it. (1), Could not finish. (1), I only read the first chapter (1), I didn't want to read Scandinavian lit right now. (1), but did not deserve that. The twisted nature of the bitchy grown up girl is revealed early. What I did appreciate was the teenage flashbacks (rape at a party (1), The story grabbed me from the start. Teenage brother & sister (1), vacationing in the Rockies w/ parents (1), head out in the morning for exercise. The girl gets kidnapped. The writer wants to express big feelings (1), which were nice (1), but the story itself was good. (1), What a lovely (1), descriptive story of a small northern Canada town and a couple of families. (1), This was an intriguing (1), fast read. I deducted half a star for the soapy aspects. Pretty exciting (1), though. I will read more. (1), I only got to p. 49 when I quit. The book had a good setting (1), but I quit because it was essentially a haunted house type story. (1), Teenage sisters; the popular one dies. The other one has troubles & tries to figure out what happened. She is raped at a party. (1), This was billed as similarly exciting as Gone Girl (1), I was excited beginning this novel because I immediately like the two main characters: private detective Strike (1), but gradually begin to know her. She is intelligent (1), trying to figure out what all the secret American operations are about. I didn't like the military and spy history (1), or maybe it's reading too many Fossums in a row (1), but took a stupid mafia/organized crime turn that was just too easy. Jake promises the woman he loves that he will never contact her after she suddenly marries an old boyfriend. When he sees her husband's obituary (1), he figures he can break the promise. Attending the funereal (1), he sees the widow is not his old g.f.! So we have fun with that for awhile (1), until Coben goes into the easy Mafia explanation. (1), I actually finished these two Fossum books in the last couple of days; soon I will start a new one on my Kindle because I like her books a lot. I thought this was a great love story with a decent mystery woven in. A 50 year old Norwegian bachelor has his (1), it works out. She is murdered on her way to her new home by a young local thug. The main characters were very good (1), and I love the Scandinavian surroundings. (1), This was an unusual novel because we meet the author who meets and talks to main characters in her books. That was pretty strange (1), but worked okay. I had a hard time at first with the main character (1), Alver throughout the story. He was a decent guy (1), but not terribly interesting (1), plus he was a disgusting push-over for a young heroin addict. The story ended up grabbing me pretty hard though. (1), Maybe it was the Kindle effect (1), but I didn't get into this one as much. I was interested in the husband & wife characters who found the young half-naked boy's body near the edge of a remote lake. The criminal was done well also. Inspector Sejer is not the fleshed-out inspector most good (1), but it was reasonably interesting. (1), It was very nice to take a break from Karin (1), and I really enjoyed this tale. Most of the story takes place in Fjallbacka in current times (1), but she cuts back to an interesting side story about the stonecutter and his beautiful but psychopathic love. There is a bit too much bad stuff (1), especially on the domestic side. We have child abuse (1), and an Asperger kid. A 7 year old girl is found drowned in the river (1), but she has soapy bathwater in her lungs. There are a lot of secrets (1), household relationships and religious stuff going on. (1), I'm giving this three stars because the detailed business stuff was boring. It reminded me of a male author (1), writing about espionage. World politics (1), and business dealings are not for me. The other parts were good; I like the Rebeca story (1), the main cop (1), Ana Marie (1), and she does some literary things (1), like the artistic (1), Only three stars for this Harlan Coben. It started out great (1), I could not finish this either (1), stuffed into an "ark." Her brother (whom she has had sex with) and best friend are her partners. Bla (1), and writing (1), police drama (1), Sweden (1), Matthew (1), Alexandria (1), Jodi (1), I really liked this book (1), I loved this book (1), etc.) (1), Unfortunately (1), 3 daughters (1), very interesting (1), tied up (1), Sarah. (1), spousal abuse (1), but not that interesting. There were too many foreign names. Maybe I'll try again? (1), sexual abuse (1), Patrick (1), Megan (1), Tomme (1), yada (1), This is my second book by this author (1), and I fully appreciate her. I did have a bit of feeling of having read it before (1), like when the cruel brother in law forces himself on the main character (1), Erica. I also had that feeling reading about the old woman (1), Vera. Erica is home in Fjallbacka (1), sorting through her deceased parent's things. One of her old best friends (1), is found dead in a tub. Erica meets her old friend (1), who is a good policeman. There are the usual Swedish stereotypical police officers for some reason. I really enjoyed Fjallbacka. (1), Could not finish. It wasn't bad (1), late-born daughter who can "see" unusual things. I am also apparently in a restless book mood. A business partner is tortured and murdered (1), bla. (1), I liked being on the iceberg with Kristin (1), this one was read while I was on Oahu. I'm loving this Iceland series. A skeleton is discovered in a drained lake. It's old (1), and it's author. It appears not all of her work is judged as well. I liked the title (1), since I am going to Oahu on Wednesday (1), but I'm not sure how it figured into the story. A likable homemaker is killed (1), and we go along with the inspector guys to solve it. On a somewhat parallel route (1), we are with Freida (1), a psychologist who apparently has been through a lot. One of the men she meets is an old newspaper reporter who has nothing else to do but try and track a serial murderer whom no one else knows exists. (1), This was very good. A young girl goes missing after what should have been a short trip to the store. We suspect an unusual non-speaking man to be involved (1), and so does his mother. Meanwhile (1), her cousin (1), is falling apart (1), and we suspect he was involved somehow. Inspector Sejer's dog is scheduled to die. (1), I actually finished this one after Arctic Chill (1), mentally ill (1), from the sixties (1), who was saying them. It is hot in Sweden (1), and is tied down with old spy equipment. The police lives (1), and the mystery of the deceased are told. It involves young (1), innocent people and lovers. (1), A young (1), half-Icelander boy's body is found in the snow covered playground. His mother is from Thailand (1), and we learn their story as the police track down fresh and older leads. (1), This was a bit flawed. Sheriff Lena and her husband are ambushed in their home. Will Trent is working undercover with the same gang involved in the hit. Sara is of course involved. Big Whitey is running a criminal enterprise and abuses little boys. There (1), and responses to it didn't make that much sense to me. Neither did Will's usual misunderstanding of Sara (1), but at least the author didn't prolong that. (1), Well-written story based on real events taking place in the early 1800s in northern Iceland. Two women and a man are accused of murdering a landowner and another man. While Agnes is awaiting the carrying out of her death sentence (1), she has to live with a farming family. They fear her (1), and I liked it (1), and has had a hard life. Sad (1), and the time before her execution is hard to bear. (1), and several young women are raped and murdered in the park. (1), and often (1), I'm 90% sure I read this before (1), who grows too big to abuse physically. (1), but maybe not. The story of two missing females whose skeletons came out when a big storm hit the home town. One was the talented (1), likable only daughter of good local people (1), the other a foreign nanny/maid. Cat's husband is dead (1), and Simon meets Rachel (1), married to an invalid. (1), I was thrilled with tis book after my last couple of "desert" feelings for the last couple of books. This was back to my good old Scandinavian lit. We are in Fjallbacka again (1), with Rebecca and Ana Marie. There was quite a literary way of telling the story from the dead girl's eyes (1), as if she were present some of the time (1), watching the characters from her perch on a chopping block (1), or a branch. Literary too were the musings on the value of life and the finality of death. Birds featured prominently (1), which suited me. A lively young woman and her boyfriend are murdered as they dive below winter ice in a remote lake. There is a terrible family (1), with a bully dad and younger brother (1), a traitor and coward of a mother (1), and a much abused older brother (1), Now this was a Kindle (1), maybe in the translation. There were several nonsensical conversations where I couldn't follow why people were saying what they were saying (1), so... I didn't like it as much as Indian Bride (1), but the story was interesting. Two young men are bored and up to no good (1), but aren't really very bad either. One goes into an old lady's house to rob her (1), but she hits him and he falls to the bottom of the cellar stairs. She is confused (1), and doesn't call anyone. She keeps him alive for days with water from a baby bottle. She tries to tell police (1), but she's hard to understand. Meanwhile (1), the police are looking for the missing young fellow. We have Sejer's life with his big dog (1), and girlfriend whom I think smoked hash. (1), I thoroughly enjoyed this almost traditional story. Lacey Flynn is still adjusting to life after trauma (1), but she gets involved with her young neighbor who is involved with a string of child murders. I didn't like the coincidences (1), but everything else was nice. (1), This had a good plot and characters (1), Edwardson is a good writer (1), but something suffered (1), but it doesn't really matter. Both were Kindle books (1)
