7th Woman

From Rosemarie Jerome
Author:  Frederique  Molay
7th Woman
Inspector Nico Sirsky is the Chief of Police, Head of the Paris Criminal Investigation Division. When Marie-Helene Jory, Assistant Professor of History at the Sorbonne, is killed in her home, Nico is called in to investigate. The homicide has sexual overtones and the victim was brutally tortured. The killer was slow, methodical and calculating, he enjoyed the kill. When similar murders occur, Nico realizes that they are dealing with a serial killer. The killer begins leaving messages for Nico. This crime novel is not for the squeamish, but the plot twists and the appealing characters will draw you in as the acts of violence repel you. Read it with the lights on and whatever you do, don’t answer your doorbell…This exclusive Kindle eBook is available on our circulating Paperwhite Kindle.

Deep Down: A Jack Reacher Story

From  Rosemarie Jerome
Author:  Lee Child
Deep Down: A Jack Reacher Story
There are four political liaison officers; one of them is a traitor. Reacher goes undercover to discover who the mole is and who she is working for. The short story format never gives the reader a chance to get to know the characters or to get involved with the plot. The resolve came about too quickly. I wish the story was longer because the premise was interesting and I liked Reacher. This exclusive Kindle eBook is available on our circulating Paperwhite Kindle.

From Rosemarie Jerome
Author:  C.S.  Harris
What Darkness Brings: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery
A wealthy gem merchant, Benjamin Eisler, is found dead in his decrepit home filled with priceless works of art. Russell Yates, a pirate, is found standing over his body. The case is solved, the trial is pending and his execution is a sure thing. Sebastian St. Cyr is asked to investigate the murder, the accused is the husband of his former lover and Yates claims to be innocent. Sebastian soon discovers that the victim was a vile swindler and blackmailer and the list of suspects rapidly increases as well as the danger. People are lying, others are dying and the clock ticks towards Yate’s demise. This is the eighth book in the suspense series that takes place in Regency England. I look forward to the 9th; the drama between the main characters and their secrets are so compelling.

The Panther

From Margaret Mezzacapo
Author: Nelson DeMille
The Panther
Another thriller, full of technical details and seemingly extensive research. This follows what seems to be a formula by the author – the daring exploits of wisecracking detective, John Corey, and his perfect, beautiful wife, Kate Mayfield, as they hunt down a terrorist leader in the Middle East. There were parts that made me think that DeMille could turn a trip to the grocery store into a techno-thriller, and parts where Detective Corey’s attitude, which is frequently sexist, grated on the nerves. The book does, however, make you wonder when hearing news about the Middle East.

D.C. Dead – A Stone Barrington Novel

From Stephanie Bunce 
Title:  D.C. Dead – A Stone Barrington Novel
Author:  Stuart Woods
I love this author’s books. His characters’ dialogue is so witty and funny, I often find myself laughing out loud. I love the friendship between Stone and Dino and I love that every book Woods writes is fast-paced and enthralling. This book includes Woods’ other series’ characters — Holly Barker and the Lees, and of course, Teddy Fay. Very entertaining read. I am so grateful that Stuart Woods is such a prolific author. You can’t go wrong with one of his books, but it is recommended that you read them from the beginning, for continuity’s sake

The Mortal Instruments, Book 3: City of Glass

From Stephanie  Bunce 
Title:  The Mortal Instruments, Book 3: City of Glass
Author:  Cassandra Clare
This book was AWESOME!! I love how she kept the action going from almost the beginning of the book. There were twists and turns, heartstopping action, and pulse-racing love sequences. I devoured this book. It is one of the few trilogies that satisfied to the very end, without me being overly disappointed that the book was over, as I often get at the end of many series. Highly recommended.
