More Books

I've been busy reading through the Book Club books my mother gives me...Since The Coaches Daughter...It seems like that most of these books have a pathologist involved, so I am getting a bit tired of reading about autopsies...

Rebecca Wells,"Ya-Yas in Bloom", interesting to read if you read the "Divine Secrets" but it jumped around from person to person and time to time that it could have gone on and on. However, nowhere as good as the "Divine Secrets."

Karen Slaughter, "Indelible", is a good page turner. I didn't read the other two books of hers that included the same main characters, but it did not detract from knowing what was going on. I would like to go back and read "Blindsighted" and "Kisscut" though to read about their background.

Jilliane Hoffman, "Last Witness", was a bit on the crass side, I would guess because the writer is a former Assistant State Attorney and she was used to working with street cops and investigators, and these people must have been like that. This was a great read though, and of course as predictable of an ending as the other books I have listed here.

Catherine Coulter, "Point Blank", An FBI Thriller, is about her other FBI thriller books with the husband and wife team of Sherlock and Savich, but I didn't realize that I had read a previous novel about them until I got about half-way through the book. So once again, this book stands alone or can be read along with a series. It was a good page turner also, set in West Virginia.

Nicholas Evans, "The Divide", is the second book of Evans I have read, "The Horse Whisperer," being the first. This book was very much like "The Horse Whisperer", with hints of the west and horses and ranches, a horse "wreck" and a love story gone awry. I don't know what I was expecting when I read this, but maybe something a bit different. It was an enjoyable read also.
