Swimsuit by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Completed Reading: January 2010

Features
  • Ben Hawkins (Former LA Cop turned Reporter/Author )
Ben Hawkins travels to Hawaii to delve into the murder of Kim McDaniels by a serial killer. When the case goes cold, Ben returns to California only to be contacted by Henri Benoit (serial killer extraordinaire) who wants him to write his story.
Review
A good storyline with great characters. Book drags on a little in sections and ties up the story rather abruptly and quickly at the end. An enjoyable book to read but not one of Patterson's best work.

The Edge ~ Catherine Coulter

Completed Reading - December 2009
The 4th Book in the FBI Series
Features
  • FBI Agent Ford "Mac" MacDouglas
  • Jilly Bartlett
  • Cameo Roles by FBI Agent Couple Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock
A thriller based on the bizarre behavior of Jilly Bartlett that brings her brother Mac to Oregon following a bizarre psychic connection between the two. A bizarre story of deceit and murder surrounding a new addictive drug. In Coulter style, there is a romantic element between characters.
Review
A good read! Not Catherine Coulter's finest work but a solid myster that keeps the reader intrigued and guessing until the end of the book.
