20. CAT ON THE EDGE by Shirley Rousseau Murphy

Like the title says, it's about a cat, or cats. Nicely written, too.

[fadedrose]

21. ICE RUN by Steve Hamilton

It's an Alex McKnight mystery set in the UP of MI. I've read all the previous McKnight books - and they were okay, but this last one is a disappointment.

Not enough mystery and maybe too much romance (was on page 150 and I lost interest). Too much like a soap opera.

Started on the cat book, CAT ON THE EDGE, and I'm liking it a lot better.

[fadedrose]

22. I'll be starting a book by this author in a week or so...

called THE CAT DANCER....

[LWolf]

23. Tess of the D'Urburvilles. Thomas Hardy. nt

[fadedrose]

24. MONKEEWRENCH by P. J. Tracy

Just started this short while ago - am on page 18 or so.

So far, it's very good, a mystery with a smile on every page. Hope it stays good.



Edited to correct spelling; MONKEEWRENCH instead of MONKEYWRENCH.

[fadedrose]

25. This was a very good book - can't wait to start the next one in the series...

It's written by a mother-daughter team. It has humor, detectives from Minnesota and Wisconsin, and some very likable characters. Didn't think I would like it when I read the jacket - about people who work on video games, but it's hardly about video games, it's mostly about the people, the crimes, the clues and how they solve the crime.

[fadedrose]

26. CAT WITH AN EMERALD EYE

a Midnight Louie mystery

by Douglas, Carole Nelson.

Got up to page 12 and closed the book. Not for me...

[fadedrose]

27. BOOKED TO DIE

by Dunning, John

Book too old, written and takes place in 1988 in Detroit. Stopped at page 2.

[fadedrose]

28. PATH OF THE ASSASSIN by Brad Thor

When I saw that it started out with a mosque bombing in Medina done by people pretending to be Israel spies, I didn't want to read the book. Have been reading about the Arab-Israel situation since I was 12 years old and have no interest in reading fiction about it.
