New York Dead

New York Dead by Stuart Woods

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What is this world coming to! A well educated man who would rather be a cop than a lawyer? And then a lady falls off a balcony several floor up and lives? And then he has to become the lawyer he never wanted to be? Audible.com caught me with this one! I think I have become a follower!

Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes

Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes by Dixie Cash

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I don't know that you need to be a Texan to enjoy this as my Scottish born husband and I had to stay up until it was finished! Maybe you just have to enjoy laughing.

What we have is two lady investigators/beauticians who have been invited to New York City as guest speakers at a conference for professional investigators or those who think they might want to enter the field. And in the city, we have a killer of prostitues.

Now how can you mix this up to be funning? I won't tell but I will recommend you get a copy! ('just beware of drinking while consuming or you may spew!)

ps I changed editions just so you can see the cover!

A Bone to Pick

A Bone to Pick by Charlaine Harris

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I do so enjoy this author's works and this series of mysteries---no vamps or ghosts, just good characters and a good story.

Dog on It

Dog on It by Spencer Quinn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


OK, I love dogs and observing them so this one is dear to my heart. Why? Because this mystery is from the dog's point of view and Quinn seems to have really gotten into the strange workings of doggie brains. If you have a muttly you will recognize our primary character as he tries to help his best friend solve the mystery without getting himself into too much trouble. It's a light, fun read!

Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss

Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss by Kyra Davis

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The story is very good BUT the reader is not; which is why I cannot give this a higher rating....soooooo, get the book in any format you can find but skip the audio! A different narrator could make this fun mystery such a verbal joy!

The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocust

The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocust by Edith Hahn Beer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It is absolutely amazing what people will do to survive and live! And so far, no two stories are the same with the exception that some will live and some will not. But it does make you think...what would I do in similar situations? could I survive? could I even handle the daily stresses?

Wizard's First Rule

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


We have watched the ongoing series based upon this series and enjoyed it. But I gotta tell you, having found this audio book, we (hubby and I) agree this much better! I do love fantasy!
