An Uplifting Murder by Elaine Viets

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is another entertaining cozy mystery from Elaine Viets. I recommend the Josie Marcus, Mystery Shopper series to those who enjoy series like this. I prefer to read her series instead of Stephanie Plum series by Jane Evanovich. Yes, it is a personal preference; but give this series a try and tell me which one you prefer.

Without Fail by Lee Child

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is another one of the well-written and entertaining Jack Reacher series. I read this during the time the murders and woundings occurred at a political rally in Arizona, and its aftermath was prominently reported in the news. Those current events gave this work of fiction, written in 2002, a feeling of immediacy.

Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I enjoyed this one more than I have enjoyed others because I enjoyed watching Reacher work with members of the 110th MP unit.

The Confession by John Grisham

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I thought it was "Just OK Grisham" which is still a lot better than so many other writers. It will be hard to recommend to other readers for Grisham has written better and more entertaining legal thrillers.
