NYPD RED is an elite squad of the New York Police Dept. who's role is to investigate crimes perpetrated again the wealthiest of NYC In this volume a newlywed be socialite is kidnapped on her wedding day. Eventually ransom is demanded and the PD tries to find the perpetrator. A second line is wealthy women have jewelry stolen. Even though this was a good story I couldn't help but think I've read this before in a book by patterson. It could be this series has run its course.

This is book 6 in the Armand Gamache series and I recommend that you read them in order, as some events carry over from previous books. This is an excellent police procedural series and I thank my s-i-l Julia for recommending this series to my wife and I. We both enjoy it. This book is one of the author's best that I have read so far and I rate it 4.5 stars rounded down. This book opens with Armand recovering both physically and mentally from events in the previous book. Armand is on medical eave from his position as Chief of the Homicide Surete(Quebec Provincial Police) team. He is drawn into investigating a murder that has taken place in Quebec City. At the same time he suspects that he may have made a mistake in his role in convicting a murderer from the previous book. He asks his #2 in the Homicide team, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, to re-investigate the crime unofficially. Jean-Guy is also on medical leave and agrees to do so. Both cases are solved with a satisfactory ending. Both men are starting to heal, both physically and mentally. I grew up in Buffalo, NY and I can remember occasional cold spells where the temperature dipped to below zero, once to -20F. M y parents and friends would always comment that "you know it's cold because you can feel the snow crunching underneath your feet when you walk." This book takes place in February in Quebec City, where crunchy snow is an every day occurrence and daytime temps go to -30(book doesn't say Celsius or Fahrenheit, but both are bitter cold). Some quotes: Describing the Literary and Historical Society: "It takes a lot of effort to halt time, and for the most part they've done it." Conversation between members of the Champlain Society: Rene: "I sometimes thinks that we are in a rowboat society." Jean: "A what?" Rene: "A rowboat. It's why we do things like that." He jerked his head toward the window and the dot on the river. "It's why Quebec is so perfectly preserved. It's why we're all so fascinated with history. We're in a rowboat. We move forward, but we're always looking back." I raced through this library book in 3 days.

For sure on the erotic side. Very headstrong characters make this one more interesting and keeps you guessing how things will turn out. I enjoyed this one and found more from the author that I enjoyed too.

Another fantastic book, by my favorite author. I finished this book in about 1 day total, his chapters are very short. Love his characters and his co-authors.

This book has 3 books in one. The first story is The Letters, second is The Calling, and the third is The Revealing. This is a wonderful Amish story that shows the love and trust of family even when there are stepchildren involved. The storys have twists in them that you wouldn’t expect. The last book was the one that I couldn’t put down. It brought all the storylines to a surprising end. A very enjoyable read!!

The second in a series but could be read stand alone, this cute little romance if for the nerds. Both characters deal with conflicts that draw you in. I love catching up with the friends from the first book. One to book three now.

There's a dead body found in a tunnel. Harry Bosch investigates and discovers that he knows who it is. They served together in Vietnam. As Harry get into the investigation, he is joined by an agent with the FBI. When Harry starts to realize what is going on, he soon finds out that the FBI is not exactly telling everything they know.

Moving story of a women learning herself.

Book four has outdone the series! Demons on both his and her side cloud perspective but help the reader uncloud their own. I love their story and their ending. So glad there is still one more in the series.

I have wanted to read this book for years, but never made it much last where the movie ended. I regret that now! The rest of Bastian’s adventures were so fun, and I can see why the author was not a fan of the movie. (I still love it, though!) There’s so much more!!
