Readers gravitate to writing genres in much the same way they label themselves wine aficionados, beer drinkers or teetotalers.?”Chaque un a son go鹴,” as the French say – “each to his/her own taste.”?Karin Slaughter’s Undone stands out in the oft belittled, by literary types that is, Suspense genre.?If uncertainty and anxiety that is far removed from your life intrigues you then suspense is right up your alley – just make sure that it doesn’t dead-end as you are being pursued.?If you haven’t tasted a suspense novel yet, UNDONE is the perfect story to take you out of the quotidian and into a dramatic crescendo of a book that is well written and exciting.

Having assiduously avoided suspense, thrillers, sci-fi, horror and the like what is compelling about Undone and Karin Slaughter in general is the location of her novels – Georgia – and being a native she knows the area well. As an…

THE PELICAN BRIEF opens well — with the murders of two Supreme Court justices by legendary terrorist Khamel — in one night.

One, Abraham Rosenberg, was a ninety-one year old hardhead who, we’re told, was hated by everybody left and right, though it’s not clear why the leftwingers hate Rosenberg. Grisham makes it obvious that Rosenberg considers himself a protector of the oppressed. He wants to retire but has been waiting for a Democratic president so he won’t be replaced by an evil Republican justice.

The second dead justice is more interesting — Justice Glenn Jensen is found strangled in a gay porn theater. He was appointed by a Republican president, and Grisham delights in the irony of how he betrayed his evil supporters (who didn’t know he was secretly leading a gay double life) by changing into a liberal justice once he took office.

In Grisham’s books Republicans are either stupid or…

The Last Citadel by David L Robbins, is a fictional book based on historical events surrounding the epic tank battle at Kursk Russia in 1943 during World War 2. The German forces were bogged down by the Russian winter, the Russian victory at Stalingrad and then the subsequent spring rain and mud. In the summer of 1943 the Germans had amassed a huge force to attack Russia and regain lost ground. This would lead to the largest tank battle in history and also lends a dynamic backdrop to this book.

There are 4 main characters that drive this story. The first is a Spanish officer Captain Luis Ruiz de Vega serving with the SS Liebstandarte Panzer Division. He was wounded in the Battle of Leningrad and is but a shell of his former greatness. The next 3 are all from the same Russian Cossack family. Dimitri Berko, a private driving the…

Author Char Matejovsky has partnered up with illustrator Robaire Ream to create an exceptional children’s book that teaches through rhyme and incredibly detailed images. Their focus is to educate young people about the time line of the Earth’s life. I feel the book would be most appropriate for children aged between 5 and 9.

Stones & Bones would appeal to children, classes and families interested in scientific study of history, anthropology, dinosaurs and early man. Stimulating, full-color images challenge the mind and educate at the same time as supplying a sense of comfort through the cozy, family-like scenes. They are so detailed that the more one looks at the illustrations, the more one sees.

The 32-page hard cover book does not have a slipcover, but seems to be of high quality. The pages feel thick and sturdy. It is accompanied by a CD that contains the “stones & Bones Song: The Song…

Every serious reader of fiction loves a good mystery or thriller novel. Unfortunately, it’s really hard to find one that takes your breath away and leaves you on a high every page of the book. Luckily however, I found one recently, and I’d like to recommend it to you:

“Compulsion” by Jonathan Kellerman; (Alex Delaware Novel), Ballantine Books, New York, NY. 2008 ISBM 978-0-345-46528-3

After you read this you understand why a clinical psychologist is able to peg the characters the way he does, and it is no wonder that Kellerman is one of the greatest fiction “Thriller” authors of all times. Perhaps one of his most famous books was Bones, but if you ask me, I think this is one of his best.

Several murders appear unrelated, yet, all with very curious circumstances, thus triggering the intense mind of an LAPD homicide detective that will not leave well enough alone. The thrill of…
