I absolutely love this series (read book one first, What Looks like Crazy) It is funny and full of thrills. It is such a quick read you can read it in one day. I cannot say enough about the fluid writing style and the character development, in my mind I know every one of them!
Sharon G. (Michael Connelly is probably one of my favorite writers and Harry Bosch one of my favorite detectives. It was a pleasant surprise to find him involved in this book. I was not disappointed with The Brass Verdict, great story as usual.

this book has slight damage on the outside binding a writing on the first 3 pages ( none where the story is), and a pen mark on the outside cover
What an interesting new series to stumble across! I happened across this at random one day while browsing PBS and figured that if I didn't get some kind of entertainment value from it maybe my sister or my girlfriend would. I wouldn't say this book is geared totally at women, or at men for that matter. Pepper Martin makes for an interesting main character while the story and it's different elements contain material that appeals to both genders. I found it to be humorous and at times a bit suspenseful. Of course then if you flip that coin I am sure some female readers will be more interested in the relationships Pepper attempts to become involved in than anything else. In the end it's just a light mystery novel with some romance and humor, things I am sure either a man or woman could find interesting. I enjoyed reading it, so pick up a copy yourself if you are intrigued by the description. Who knows you might enjoy it.

Great read. Suspense with lots of chair gripping pages. A scarey and most unnerving ghost story. I actually read this one twice with a year in between, it was that good.

This book only rates an "ok" with me. I will say that it was well written and interesting. However, it wasn't so amazing as to captivate me. Several times, I found myself setting this book aside and not picking it up again for several weeks. I got a little more into it after the second half. The ending left me thinking, "That's it?!". I would have enjoyed the book continuing on - or atleast offering a final chapter set in the future. I would recommend it when you want some light reading where there is the possibility to be interrupted.
I don't care for when someone says the shape of the book. It may not be the same book further down the line, as is this case. This was a super suspense, private eye, story. I don't think i have read a Jonathan Kellerman that i didn't like, but this one is very well done. Will have you wanting to read more by this author.

Beautiful novel. If you liked Snow Falling On Cedars, you will love this also, by the same author. Very engrossing read. Beautiful thought and language, it all flows so well, before you know it, you have finished the book.

I enjoyed this second book. It is not necessary to have read the previous book, but this one does include most of the characters from that book. I must say this has been my first series written from the male point of view, and it's been interesting to see how men preceive women. I definitely want to read the last book to see how the romances bloom.
As usual, Eileen Wilks' writing has you on the edge of your seat. My only complaint is that now I will have to wait another 12 months before the next book.
If you enjoy Urban Fantasy, this is a great series about the Lupi (werewolves).

I saw this book while shelving the new books at the library. I love the series so I immediately took this book out.
I LOVED it! I have not read the first book they wrote, but this one was so well done that I'm searching for it!
Some of the stories really blew my mind!! Especially the one of the girl going down the bookcase! The answer they found for the homeowner gave you chills! I stayed up several hours and read the entire book in one night.
They also delve into what drove Grant into the paranormal field. He has never told his story before and now I understand why. I must get the first book to find out more about how Jason got into the field. They touched it briefly, but I guess it's more explained in the first book.
This book has everything - super scary tales that are real, funny debunked stories, and new stories that are of events I didn't even know could happen!! My only regret is that none of these stories were "filmed" for the series. That would have been great footage! These stories happened before "Ghost Hunters" became a tv series.
Really, if you are "into" ghost stories that are real, this book will amaze you! You don't even need to watch the tv series.
However, I do have a friend that has a ghost and I did tell her NOT to read this book. I thought she might think the ghost is evil after reading some of the stories, when in fact, her ghost is just hanging around and pranking her family.
If you want to read about what to do if you have an actual ghost, read "Relax, it's only a ghost".

One of these mutants, a woman named Thea, has eluded the Pirates for years. Armed only with a crossbow, her pride, and common sense, she has been slowly making her way Eastward....Until she meets Evan Montague, a man who needs her help, a man who is also on the run from the Pirates, he once led the Pirates himself and has now become their most bitter and hunted enemy.

I did enjoy this read. It's Venice 1295, an abandoned baby is found in a narrow canal. She calls him Polo. Despite resistance from her husband, Teresa raises the child in their home among the glass makers, His new parents soon realize that Polo is short-sighted--but this gives him a strange and acute eye for distinguishing colour and tone. Polo will learn in his journeys about colour, sight, and distance, death, and beauty, faith and love. I found this book deep but a rewarding read.

Wonderfully interesting
JIL M. (Monica Holloway made me laugh out loud with this memoir. Even someone who doesn't read this type of book will be entertained. Her family is pure chaos, so she spends a lot of time with her friend, whose family runs a mortuary. The adventures these two little girls have are priceless. And then she gets to return home. Although her life is full of despair, violence & sadness - she doesn't feel sorry for herself. She just tells her funny story!
A police procedural mystery, the second featuring Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov, set in Moscow during the USSR. Read well by Mark Hammer, and interesting to the end.

This is the second book of Judy Baer's that I've read and was not disappointed at all. Lots of great funny moments. It has a great love story and I love how God is involved in the story. You will not want to put the book down.

This is a beautiful story about a child of the Hiroshima tragedy, researched meticulously by a Japanese American minister. The story of Sadako is precious & sad, full of sickness & heartache. But her kind & giving spirit keeps her going at a time when most people would have given up. She affects so many others with her belief that if she folds one thousand paper cranes, then her wish to be healthy again will come true. And although she reaches her goal, she just keeps folding.

It was fast-paced and pretty unrealistic on several fronts. It did hold my interest until the end but I had lots of questions about many of the adventures including why he went to Africa in the first place since he had no jurisdiction in any of those countries.

My children (ages 14, 11, and 4) LOVED this book! It was fun to discuss it with each other, and hard not to tell what was going to happen! It was very exciting, and made me glad I had gotten it! It's tough to find a book that everyone in the family can enjoy together!
I will keep this book. Brings back characters and stories from earlier books. felt like a visit with past loves.
