4. 5 stars rounded down for a fast moving book that I couldn't put down. I read 105 pp the first day and the rest of this 396 page book on the second day. I have read 34 books by Connelly and enjoyed every single one. In this book, reporter Jack McEvoy is questioned by LAPD detectives because a woman that he met in a bar 1 year ago has been murdered. Jack investigates and believes that she was murdered by a serial killer. There is a connection to a consumer DNA company. He does solve the mystery, with help from Emily Atwater, another reporter at Fair Warning, the online newspaper where he works, and ex FBI agent Rachel Walling. The book refers to incidents in previous books and I recommend that you read them in order.

4 stars for a hilarious book recommended by my s-i-l Judie. I have read 11 books by Carl Hiaasen and enjoyed every one. This one is book 8 in the Skink series. Skink is the former Florida Governor who walked off the job in an earlier book. He was and is an environmentalist, given to outrageous acts of sabotage against companies or people who damage the environment. He does not appear in this book until the second half. The 1st half is about the interchange of incidents between Angela, "Angie" Armstrong, ex Florida Wildlife Officer, Jerry Crosby, Palm Beach Police Chief, a now ex President, along with his wife, and various Secret Service Agents and employees at Casa Bellicosa, aka Winter White House. The President and his wife are never mentioned by name, but the descriptions are so vivid that it is impossible not to know who is who. The second half brings Skink and Jim Tile, a Skink friend into contact with everyone. Some elements in the book: Burmese Pythons--an invasive species thriving in the Everglades Pruitt, a poacher from Angela's past POTUS Pussies--Wealthy widows who adore the President Three quotes: "Angie had been summoned to Casa Bellicosa to unfasten a screech owl from the presidential pompadour, which the low swooping raptor had mistaken for a road-kill fox." "The President's Secret Service's code name was "Mastotodon." He loved it. " "On only his second day in the Whit House, the President had ordered his chief of staff to arrange a trip to the National Zoo for a close-up look at a real mastodon." This was a library ebook through the Libby app.

Not a good read. Found it very difficult to catch and maintain my interest. Very simple book. Was not suspenseful. Characters were not very believable. Would not recommend this book.

NYPD RED is an elite component of the New York City police department whose purpose is to and investigate crimes perpetrated again the wealthiest of NYC.

The Billie B Brown series is one of our favorites...they're perfect for quick family read alouds or assisted beginner reads. We loved that this one highlighted Billie's baby brother since we have a baby in our family too. We laughed quite a bit in this one.

This book makes you think and is one everyone should read. I did feel it was slow at times which is why I gave 4 ?? instead of 5

An easy read and I always like Kristin Higgins.

Excellent book! Could not put it down. I have read books by Chris Bohjalian in the past and this one lives up to his wonderful story telling abilities. The book is a mystery, romance and WWII story all rolled into one. The characters are fascinating and very realistic. The story is set in WWII and approximately 10 years later. There is flash backs but very easy to follow. I will definitely look for more of his books.
