	Mercy Author: Jodi Picoult	9/7 First J.P. read. Ended up skimming quite a bit of it - too much description for me. Interesting story about a man who kills his wife per her request due to a terminal illness.

	Hit List Author: Lawrence Block	8/28 My first L.B. read. Keller is a Professional Hit man who find out that he has become the hit. A little disturbing, not as smooth a read. I might have to try L.B. again?

	Paranoia Author: Joseph Finder	7/23 Adam gets caught pulling a prank at work (embezling) and his punishment is to infiltrate the competition and take the secrets back to his boss. Great read!

	Dead Ringer Author: Lisa Scottoline	7/13 Bennie Rosato's twin is out to get her. Meanwhile Bennie tries to find out who murdered her client. This was a hard read for me - not flowing like Michael Connelly.

	The Closers Author: Michael Connelly	7/6 Detective Harry Bosch is back from retirement after 3 years and put in the Open-Unresolved Unit. His first is a case 17 years old, of a murdered teenage girl. Another quick read and turn of events at the end!

	Motor Mouth Author: Janet Evanovich	6/8 Race cars, some bad guys, some good guys framed to be bad guys who have to solve the crime and a little bit of romance - all in a days read!

	The Lincoln Lawyer Author: Michael Connelly	6/4 Another great mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat and had a bit of a surprise ending! Courtroom drama, innocent men vs guilty men. Michael Connelly doesn't disappoint!

	City of Bones Author: Michael Connelly	5/28 I'm really digging Mr. Connelly! Dog finds bones of human in the hills; detective solves a 20 year old crime.

	Black Echo Author: Michael Connelly	5/26 another good mystery! A Police detective is called to a murder scene, ends up knowing the victim from Vietnam and ties him to a bank heist two years prior.

	Plum Island Author: Nelson DeMille	5/11 Convalescing cop gets pulled into a double murder investigation of two scientists. This was my first DeMille read - didn't flow as easily as I'm used to but ended up being a great mystery.

	The Narrows Author: Michael Connelly	4/27 The Poet, serial killer, is back and FBI Agent Rachel Walling and Private Eye Harry Bosch are hot on his trail. I'm really liking Mr. Connelly's writing. Not as gory as the other (thanks).

	The Overlook Author: Michael Connelly	Murder mystery... pretty good!

	The Poet Author: Michael Connelly	First time reading Michael Connelly - wow! I like his writing style and I don't mind all the description! Cop serial killer with a twist. He had me until the end of course... set it right up. Nice! :)
