Jurassic Park

Good summer fodder.

Jurassic Park: A Novel

Lost Light

The Rod Carew of Detective fiction. Rarely strikes out and usually makes contact.

Lost Light (Harry Bosch)

A Savage Place

A early, weird and pretty good Spencer.

A Savage Place

Term Limits

Just can’t connect with the “Get the President” genre. Managed to finish, more from being stubborn than interested.

Term Limits

Rules of Prey

Book sales are great to fill out what the library doesn’t carry.

Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport, No. 1)

Out on the Cutting Edge: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel

Blocky in places, but keeps an even keel overall.

Adam

Besides ripping off Poltergeist and The Exorcist, this book reeks with pretension. So long, Ted.

Adam

Gone Tomorrow

Series getting long in the tooth, but good for filler.

Gone Tomorrow: A Jack Reacher Novel (Jack Reacher Novels)

Last to Die

A little jumbled and not that interesting.

Last to Die

The Last Kind Words: A Novel

A more interesting take on the Walton’s.

The Last Kind Words: A Novel

The Killer Angels

One of the best Civil War novels. With the 150th anniversary coming up, a timely read.

The Killer Angels: A Novel of the Civil War (Modern Library)

Ironhorse

Something unique going on with the RBP legacy – Virgil and Everett take to the rails and the train rolls on.

Robert B. Parker’s Ironhorse

Paranoia

Some of the tech heavy sections are dull, but who likes to waste research? A decent overall read.

Paranoia

Primal Fear

A decent ride with some good hooks.

Primal Fear

Night Vision

Common title for a rather odd series.

Night Vision (Doc Ford)

The Last Lie

Author is a bit too smug for this middle of the road series.

The Last Lie

Tanner On Ice

This series is a little weak, but good for a couple hours of checking out.

Tanner On Ice (Evan Tanner Suspense Thrillers)

Dead Time

Multiple narrators and a so-so plot make this a bit much.

Dead Time (Dr. Alan Gregory)

Presumed Innocent

Slogs in places, but no bad overall.

Presumed Innocent

Force of Nature

Author has a winning recipe, but the batter is getting a bit stale.

Force of Nature (A Joe Pickett Novel)
