The Marriage Hearse by Kate Ellis (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) #10 in Kate Ellis' series featuring DI Wesley Peterson. A bride is murdered in her home right before her wedding and there are several plausible suspects. Wesley's archaeologist friend Neil Watson is bored at a nearby dig, but rediscovers his enthusiasm when a skeleton is uncovered at a farm in the area. As always with Ellis' novels, the present-day case is convoluted, but by the end is surprisingly tied to the old one from the 16th century. Another great story. -- Added by ElizabethR on 03/03/2013 Add Comment

The Rich and the Rest of Us by Tavis Smiley (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) I don't often read political tomes like this one because they can be so depressing (being part of the 99%, rather than the 1%) and this one is very much so, because it's just so true! I mean, Mr. Smiley and Dr. West state their case so well that this book made me very, very depressed. Then I read Underwater Dogs... -- Added by Chris on 03/03/2013 Add Comment

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) This was a very good story. It started out slow, but picked up at a good pace. There was a balance of past history with the present day. It seemed like the book didn't need the last 20-30 pages until I read them. By Gosh, what an ending! This was the best of the six books that I read. -- Added by TheWriteJim on 03/01/2013 Add Comment

The Prophet by Michael Koryta (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) I've read several of Koryta's books and enjoyed them all, but this is my new favorite. He's always good at creating tension in his stories, but this time he really brought the emotion with the relationship between Adam and Kent Austin. Highly recommended. -- Added by msgwenniepennie on 02/27/2013 Add Comment

Defending Jacob by William Landay (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) difficult to get into. -- Added by ekruger1974 on 02/27/2013 Add Comment

Statecraft as Soulcraft by George F. Will (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) It's amazing that Mr. Will was allowed to maintain his "conservative" credentials after publishing this book. Certainly, the tea-party crowd circa 2010 would have stripped him of such pretense had the book appeared more recently. The book is nothing less than an assault on pure libertarian philosophy (think Ayn Rand and company). In the course of the attack, many of the current conservative bromides fall. It turns out that some conservatives don't believe that government is always THE problem. Some of them believe in a social safety net, and many think that the President should be more than the reigning CEO. I KNOW! This is shocking stuff. Revelation or not, this is classic George Will. If you enjoy and agree with his columns and television commentary, you will almost hear his voice. If you feel somewhat estranged from current Republican orthodoxy, you might also find solace in this book. -- Added by zstock on 02/26/2013 Add Comment

Caught by Harlan Coben (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) Ugh, I can't review this book without giving too much away! LOL! This book is Harlan Coben's usual dose of jaw dropping plot twists and dry wit that we've come to expect. There is also a fair amount of "preaching" in several situational ethics raised in the plotline. Oh well. It was a pleasant surprise to find a title by Coben I missed reading as soon as it came out. -- Added by Mrs. K on 02/26/2013 Add Comment

Defending Jacob by William Landay (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) Difficult to read with school shootings in mind, but I had to find out what really happened. -- Added by wintereader13 on 02/25/2013 Add Comment

Suspect by Robert Crais (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) I enjoyed this book very much. a slight departure for Crais. Story of an injured cop who lost his partner in a shooting and a marine dog injured in afghanistan trying to save his partner. They are trying to retrain and bond together amid crime and mayhem! -- Added by Fran on 02/24/2013 Add Comment

Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics) I don't normally go for the "CSI" type stories, but I've enjoyed this one. The main character, Fiona "Fi" Griffith's, a rather unconventional police woman in Wales, is as interesting and complicated as the crime she is working to solve. -- Added by zivah on 02/24/2013 Add Comment
