South Of Nowhere
by Jeffery Deaver
View in Library Catalog
book cover


My new favorite book series. The TV series Tracker is based off of these novels and if you like the show, you will love the books. This one was very exciting with some thrills, twists and turns in the plot. Thre characters have a lot of depth to them and I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series as their is a continuous undelying story that takes place throughout each of them.

Be Ready When The Luck Happens
by Ina Garten

book cover


The beginning of the book was warm and informative; Ina was totally relatable. The middle of the book was interesting-learning about her foray into the food business; the failures and successes and lessons learned. At the end, I didn't want to read about her apartment in France and the interior decoration. Advice would have been good; bragging/name -dropping was a turn off. Although overall, the book was engaging, an editor should have removed many of the exclamation points!

Freida always delivers a plot twisting, rollar coaster ride of thriller and suspense. Her latest novel, The Tenant doesn't disappoint!

Predictable and Disappointing. A nice feel good book, but I expected more.

Strange Planet

book cover


What fun I had reading Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle - A MUST READ - an intelligent comic relief - with a play on words that made me smile from beginning to end - that I constantly found myself giggling - I never imaged I would enjoy a Graphic novel and I certainly did! It wasn't a mystery and it wasn't a who-did it and I couldn't put it down

Wild Horses

WILD HORSES by Dick Francis follows a proven formula - interesting story, people with problems, and, or course, a really good man as the main character!

The Woman In Cabin 10
by Ruth Ware

book cover


A good book but disappointing overall. This was very predictable and had twists and turns that were not necessary. Additionally the main character's backstory in the first 3 chapters means nothing to the plot. The big reveal comes too early and the story has a huge setting to utilize, but they keep it in one small closet. It gets boring very quickly. The main character's survival is also not believable. While reading, I could hear Agatha Christie spinning in her grave like a rotisserie chicken.

Incidents Around The House
by Josh Malerman

book cover


I didn’t realize this was the horror genre, not my typical read. Thematically it addresses issues around families and secrets and betrayals, but on the surface, true to its plot, it is a horror story, and a pretty scary one. Eight-year-old Bella has a friend, but she lives inside the closet. She is not invisible but can take many shapes and forms. Bella names her “Other Mother”. She wants Bella to let her into her heart, but Bella continues to resist. “Other Mother” starts out as a good friend, and Bella has no other friends. As Bella’s mom and dad’s relationship seems to be crumbling, “Other Mother” seems to become more aggressive and stronger. What follows is this family’s journey to be free from “Other Mother”. I am not quite sure how it ended, and I have now read the ending three times. I am still thinking about it.
