Plum Island
Plum Island by Nelson DeMille (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
A fun mystery with a few good laughs,but the narrator (and main character) is unpleasantly juvenile at times. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 02/12/2013

A good Nelson DeMille story. There are lots of geographic locations to investigate, and interesting characters. It's good to have a map handy. -- sarasotasun on 02/15/2013  
Defending Jacob
Defending Jacob by William Landay (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
I'm going to take Madwoman's sage advice and put this in the relationships category; the events may revolve around a crime, but the novel is really about the strained relationships between father, son and mother. A chilling read, and highly recommended. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 02/06/2013

I loved that this was more than just a typical thriller. The family actions and twists make this a more substantial piece of work. The story brings up lots of things to ponder and talk about. -- Duckyb on 02/23/2013  
Dead Irish
Dead Irish by John Lescroart (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
A bit grittier an slower-paced than Lescroart's other novels, but the book picked up towards the end and had an unexpected conclusion. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 02/02/2013

The Overlook
The Overlook by Michael Connelly (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
A lively pace and an unexpected twist make this a fine mystery. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 01/27/2013

A Memory of Light
A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
A wonderful ending to an epic series. Part of me is sad to see the Wheel of Time come to a close, but mostly, I'm just glad Brandon Sanderson did such a good job of taking over for Robert Jordan. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 01/19/2013

The Suspect
The Suspect by John Lescroart (Adventure, Suspense, Travel, Sports)
Follows one of Lescroart's less well-known characters-- Gina Roarke-- but still had a satisfying resolution and an interesting twist. -- Added by LegallyMinded on 01/11/2013
