I found out about this author on the news when he was traveling with a team of RVs and volunteers with a group of dogs to a new location. Some weeks later I picked up his first book and loved it. I am now on the fourth book in his Andy Carpenter series. I like reading about Patterson, although I did not grow up there, I did live in New Jersey and had visited there. I was also familiar with the sports teams he writes about. I further like Tara who couldn't,Laurie,Kevin and others. They come off as people you just have to know.

Another good Rosenfelt book with Andy Carpenter, Laurie Collins, and Tara. Andy goes to Findlay, Wisconsin at the request of ex girlfriend Laurie now acting police chief in her home town. She has arrested a teen named Jeremy for killing his ex girlfriend and another girl part of a secretive town call Centurion and the strange religion that revolves around a mysterious wheel and someone called the keeper. It was a very satisfying read and most of all I am happy Laure and Andy will continue to see each other. :)

This was the second book I read by Buzz Malone. It was very good. He took newspaper stories and created a rich story about young Hiram who just wanted out of his miserable life with his father and to be with his love Clara. And a sheriff who is haunted some by his past and who maybe as a result is extra compassionate because of it. I will definitely keep reading Malone's books.

I read this book while waiting for a train to take me back home in the late summer. I loved this book from the first page. I was immediately pulled in by the lead character Frank Schantz and how he adapted to being deaf and going from someone who was accepted to be shunned just because he could no longer hear. Still he does not let this stop from having a life even if its jsut him and his mother and the library. That is until he starts writing to the newspaper anonymously. I won't give away any more but will say no one who picks up this book to read it will regret it.

Buffalito Destiny is a book to savor. The Amazing Conroy was a hypnotist turned business man who reached the corporate elite thanks to swiping a Buffalito from another planet before returning to Earth. Conroy named him Reggie and they are joined at the hip. Conroy also used Reggie to make other Buffalito to form his business of saving the world by having teams of Buffalito do what they do naturally eat anything and everything then fart out oxygen. Of course he has to keep ahead of the aliens he took Reggie from, rabid ecological terrorists and more. It was a great read!

I was not sure I would like this book because it dragged as the narrative moved on then I got halfway through the book and I couldn't put it down. I have a new author to read. :)

Another great book by Rosenfelt! My ninth one I have read by him and I am going to keep going until I get closer to his latest book.

Very funny and twisted tale on Hanzel and Gretal. What is the best about this book is how savvy they are over their unworthy family that keeps them in the basement. It was originally part of his book "Short Stack" before he decided to make it a solo book.

Humorous book hands down. I loved his take on people disappearing while reading a book and also the bond between a husband and wife and these are only two of the many stories inside. I read it in a day and had tears in my eyes on more than one occasion for all the laughter I did. Luckily it did not disturb the people I was with on a bus, this past summer.

I was drawn to this book on Story Cartel. First by it's title "House of Three Murders", then by the book's cover, and finally the description.

The start of the book went off like a bang with the introduction of Sixto, a Mexican with a criminal record, who meets good natured Charlie at the Palm,at bar and then unexpectedly leads to a robbery and shoot out at a liquor store.

After that the book's pace slowed down considerably. It went into the friendship of Ade Snow and Johnny Quenton, life in Smoke Tree; football; their relationships with their girlfriends, parents and rest of the community It is not till much later that the story picks up steam and the police enter the story but mainly "The House of Three Murders" is focused on Ade, Johnny, Judy (Johnny's girlfriend), and Charlie.

While I prefer much more a mystery to unravel, I must write that I came to like Ade, Johnny, and Charlie and became interested in their futures. I would recommend this book to others to read.

A big portion of the book focused on the tight knit Roosevelt family and on Theodore Roosevelt' asthma. He excelled at Harvard and much of his asthma affliction went away. The book up to and after Roosevelt's years in Harvard was pretty good. Then after that the book got far less interesting. I got to feeling as if the last half of the book was condensed and all the good stuff was taken out.
