This is a great story, with stunning twists and turns all the way to the end, where you are left holding your breath until the next book comes out...

The Gopher
|
Mystery novel
|
Salil Dhawan and Rebecca Baxter have written a fast-paced crime drama with a great many complications to overcome before bringing the real perpetrator to justice. The reader becomes suspicious of several people, before the story comes to a satisfying conclusion.

Foul Matter

Satire
|
Laugh out loud funny. An hilarious takeoff of the New York publishing scene written with her customary skill in creating quirky but credible characters. A most deserving victim meets a most appropriate end.

The Smile Of A Ghost
|
|
This is the seventh in Rickman's series about the Rev. Merrily Watkins, Anglican priest, mother, widow, sort of girlfriend of a sort of rock star, and official diocesan Deliverance Counselor(p.c. term for exorcist) and it might be his best. As usual there are suspicious deaths, shady characters, eccentrics, political maneuvering both in and out of the church possible supernatural events and loads of suspense. Rickman is not well known in the U.S. I hope that changes. He writes some of the most literate/literary complex mystery/thrillers(I do't know how to classify them) on the market. He is a master of dialogue and the plot twist. Rickman also does moody atmosphere and sense of place incredibly well. I highly recommend this this series!!

State's Evidence
|
Legal Thriller and Police Procedural
|
A top notch legal and romantic thriller, pitting two ruthless killers against the system of justice and an Assistant District Attorney and Homicide Detective's exhaustive efforts to stop them before they strike again. Fans of Grisham, Scottoline, Fairstein, and Turow should love this book, as well as the author's other great legal thrillers, JUSTICE SERVED and PERSUASIVE EVIDENCE!

Belshazzar's Daughter
|
Police Procedural
|
I've been on the hunt for good international mysteries for a few years now and struck gold when I picked up Belshazzar's Daughter. The story line, the exotic locale of Istanbul, and an truly original hero (Inspector Ikmen) made it one of my favorites of the year. The author has written 8 books in the series. Only 3 have been translated into English. I immediately grabbed another after finishing this one. Now I have to wait for the translations of the rest. But wait with baited breath, I will!

Mallory's Oracle
|
Hardboiled
|
O'Connell has created one of the most complex, mesmerising, frustrating and sometimes frightening female centers of any mystery series out there. If you haven't read a Kathleen Mallory book, you are missing out on one of America's great crime writers. There are times I backtrack just re-read a single beautifully written sentence. Mallory can make you want to slap her on one page one a chapter later you want to weep for the lost, damaged child and the woman she became. Amazing.

A Free Man Of Color
|
Historical - African-American
|
Wonderful post-civil war historical mystery, features Benjamin January, a 'free man of color'; trained in Europe as a surgeon, but unable to practice in New Orleans because of his race. Makes his living playing piano. Beautifully textured detail of time, place, with lots of atmosphere.
ALSO: 7 additional novels in the series: Fever Season; Graveyard Dust; Sold Down the River; Die Upon a Kiss; Wet Grave; Days of the Dead; Dead Water. Don't care if you're white, black or polka dotted--this is an amazing series, by an immensely skilled author.
